AOC, Lieu to Senate Dems: Say on the Record Whether Gorsuch and Kavanaugh Lied

[867-5309.]

Reps. Ted Lieu and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez demanded Monday that Senate Democratic leaders say on the record whether they believe U.S. Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh lied under oath about their views on Roe v.

In a letter to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), Lieu and Ocasio-Cortez noted that neither Gorsuch nor Kavanaugh contended during their Senate confirmation hearings that Roe was "egregiously wrong from the start," a position that both justices assented to last month by joining Justice Samuel Alito's majority opinion in Dobbs v.

6. The process of...

Removal has to begin. It's a very slow one and certain things have to happen in Congress first - like a Dem super majority - before the process can be completed.

They must be outnumbered or removed.

7. I really want Susan Collins to say that Kavanaugh lied

She needs to be pushed on it. Either he lied to her or she lied to us. Because when she announced her intention to confirm him, she was very specific about what he told her.

There is no wiggle room here.
