Should Dems now call on Gorsuch to resign?

[Amishman]

46. Several problems with that

I'm not aware of a actual criminal statute which could be brought against Gorsuch's nomination; and if so, the people who put him in place would be the ones chargeable. Gorsuch would probably be better described as a victim rather the a perpetrator in that circumstance (as nauseating as it sounds).

It comes back to the person being impeached has to have committed a crime. Our system just isn't written to handle what has occurred, and we are limited by the laws and constitution we have. Even if we change the laws to allow removal of officials appointed illegitimately, we still probably couldn't use them on Gorsuch as it would be an ex post facto scenario. Gorsuch is the product of the Pubs exploiting a loophole. A huge part of the reason we don't have the votes is because we don't have a good legal argument.

Kavanaugh on the other hand is much more targetable as both his possible pre-nomination crimes and potential cover-up are absolutely fair game.
