"It appears to be a very thorough investigation, but I'm going back later to personally read the interviews."

– Susan Collins, October 4, 2018 – two days before voting to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the US Supreme Court.

John –

We learned this weekend that, although Deborah Ramirez provided the FBI with a list of more than two dozen witnesses to her sexual assault by Brett Kavanaugh, they didn't interview a single one.

Somehow, Susan Collins convinced herself that that looked like "a very thorough investigation," and voted to make Kavanaugh one of the most powerful judges in the United States.

She was wrong. Tell Susan Collins and the Senate to impeach Kavanaugh now.

This wasn't a case of the FBI deciding that they didn't need to interview witnesses. Congressional Republicans actually blocked them from doing so.

In other words, Senate Republicans knew that the investigation not only wasn't "very thorough," but in fact was deliberately inadequate.

That makes Kavanaugh's confirmation – which was already a disaster – a sham.

It also makes Susan Collins's assurances ring all the more hollow; at the same time she was promising Maine (and the whole nation) that she would carefully examine the accusations against Kavanaugh, her colleagues were sabotaging the investigation.

And – sadly, no surprise – in the year since, Collins has been the toast of the Federalist Society and the beneficiary of their massive anti-choice fundraising machine.

Nothing about this process – from the nomination to the "investigation" to Kavanaugh's sneering, self-indulgent testimony to Collins's insincere promises – matches the seriousness or weight of the nation's highest court.

The Senate must right this wrong. The people of the United States deserve better.

Sign the petition now to tell the Senate to open impeachment proceedings against Brett Kavanaugh.
