PFAW Member,

One year ago, we were in the midst of a hard fought battle against Brett
Kavanaugh's nomination to the Supreme Court.

During the confirmation process, credible sexual assault allegations came
to light, most notably from Dr. Christine Blasey Ford who detailed her
account in gut wretching Senate testimony. And yet Republicans on the
Committee rammed Kavanaugh's confirmation through, with several prominent
Senate Republicans dimissing her allegations. Senator Lindsey Graham even
made the demeaning and offensive statement that he would "listen to the
lady, but we're going to bring this to a close."

As we then suspected and as we learned over the weekend – Dr. Ford was not
the only survivor whose allegations were brushed off by Republicans and
the FBI's bogus "investigation."

[ [link removed] ]Sign the petition today calling on the House Judiciary Committee to
investigate the sham Senate confirmation process and totally inadequate
White House and Republican Senate-directed FBI investigation into sexual
assault allegations against Brett Kavanaugh>>

In an essay published on Saturday, two New York Times reporters outlined a
10 month investigation in which they researched multiple sexual assault
investigations of their own regarding Brett Kavanaugh. Their findings?
More sexual assault allegations were found to be credible, yet poorly
handled by an FBI constrained by the White House and a Senate Judiciary
Committee marching to White House orders.^1

We can and must do better.

It's one big reason why PFAW launched our "Vote the Courts 2020" campaign
– to hold Republican Senators accountable for their vote to confirm Brett
Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court and their votes to confirm over 150 other
narrow-minded, extremist elitists. These senators abdicated their
responsibilty to ensure that our federal judiciary is presided over by
fair-minded constitutionalists, choosing instead to confirm far-right
nominees.

It's also why we're supporting a thorough and exhaustive investigation
into the rushed confirmation process by Senate Republicans and the rigged
FBI investigations into the credible sexual assault allegations against
Kavanaugh. Senate Republicans repeatedly stonewalled Senate Democrats's
calls for a thorough investigation and Kavanaugh repeatedly misled
Senators while testifying under oath to the Senate Judiciary Committee.

This cannot be allowed to become the new normal.

[ [link removed] ]Join us in urging the House to investigate the botched confirmation
process and in our work to hold Senators accountable for their bad
votes!>>

With your continued advocacy and support – and by holding these senators
accountable – we can ensure there are no more Brett Kavanaughs nominated
to the federal judiciary.

Thanks for all that you do,

- Zach, PFAW
