A freshman Democrat selected to serve on the House Judiciary Committee has told his constituents the panel will likely investigate claims accusing Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh of perjury during his controversial confirmation hearings last year.
Joe Neguse, a Colorado Democrat elected in 2018 to serve the states second congressional district, told supporters on Friday the committee could move to impeach the newly-appointed justice if their findings prove he knowingly lied to lawmakers during his confirmation process.
Donald Trumps second pick to serve a lifelong appointment on the Supreme Court was alleged to have provided misleading statements surrounding sexual assault accusations levelled against him by Deborah Ramirez, a former Yale classmate.
Theres no question [Kavanaugh] committed perjury during the confirmation hearings and so forth, Mr Neguse said on Friday. I think the Judiciary Committee is likely to take that up.

(11,118 posts)Do they hope to impeach Kavanaugh? If not, it's a waste of time. If so, it's still a waste of time.
There are more useful battles to be fought.
