Can Gorsuch, Kavenaugh an Barret be

charged with perjury due to their Senate nomination testimony?

1. Doubtful.

If accused, they'd say, "I wasn't lying at the time of my confirmation hearing when I said I didn't think Roe should be overturned, but after reading the briefs and hearing the oral argument in Dobbs I changed my mind." That's bullshit, of course; they were all hand-picked by the Federalist Society and vetted carefully to be sure they would vote to ditch Roe, but it would almost impossible to prove they were lying.

2. No way anything they said would put them in that position.

They simply recited previous decisions/decision-makers, and did NOT say 'This is what I will do.'

3. No

The easy out is to say - "my thinking evolved"

4. They could be impeached, but won't be.

5. might be worth the effort to drag it out in the open

if we retain power

8. About all we are likely to see is a weak fountain of concern from the usual sources...

Which is already dying down after a sternly worded tweet yesterday afternoon.

I am getting used to radio silence on anything which really matters.

6. They can be called liars. Over and over and over.

The citizens of this country should have it drilled into their heads that Republicans are nothing but liars.

7. They need to be hounded.

Any event they attend called into question.

9. Nope

I haven’t seen a single case cited where someone was charged and convicted of perjury for something contradictory they did AFTER their testimony. Perjury is prosecuted based on statements about past actions, not future ones because all a person has to do is say “I changed my mind/opinion on the matter after my testimony”.

10. No. The only thing that could help is to get the votes for impeachment.
