I know these don't mean much but what happens if we get a few million signers?

(6,168 posts)The only downside is I'll be bombarded with a mountain of emails now asking me for donations. Will be sending that address to my spam file as soon as the donation requests start rolling in.

(7,449 posts)Kavanaugh should be impeached for perjury.
Orrex
(67,392 posts)He will say "my views on the subject have evolved" and that will be the end of it.
Accusing him of perjury, even though it's obviously true, will get us nowhere.
Better to expand the court.

(7,449 posts)Im not talking about his points on abortion.
relayerbob
(7,449 posts)Just tired of people getting away with this crap, with no consequences or accountability.
Orrex
(67,392 posts)Consequences are for other people.
And put simply I'd love to see him dragged out of his chair for whatever reason we can name. I just have no faith that anything as trivial as perjury (a jailable offense to you and me) will have any impact on his tenure.
Hell, if rape was no barrier to his approval (even among such "principled" Republicans as Flake, Collins, Murkowski & Romney) then a little deliberate falsehood under oath won't even move the needle.

(7,449 posts)Seemed like you were angry with me. I think we are in violent agreement. He should be impeached and removed because of his violent assualts and lying about them. But, he won't be.
Orrex
(67,392 posts)it still wouldn't make a difference. Thomas will go on happily polluting the nation and the world until he dies.

(22,882 posts)But it certainly has the potential to embarrass him and piss him off. To me, that's better than nothing.

A lot of people will do their surfing and email-reading tomorrow or Monday. So it should hit a million with no problem.

(96,882 posts)Precisely the point. If you want to engage in the belief that the House and Senate will Impeach and remove Justice Thomas, write an actual letter to your elected officials in Your own words and explain why they should. Thatll have 100 times the impact of an online petition signature.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
