Kamala Harris Calls For Formal Impeachment Inquiry Into Brett Kavanaugh [View all]

[DesertRat]

Presidential contender Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) called for a formal impeachment inquiry into Brett Kavanaugh on Friday in the wake of a new sexual misconduct claim against the Supreme Court justice.

“I write to urge the House Judiciary Committee to take appropriate action to investigate recent reports about Associate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, and to hold Mr. Kavanaugh accountable for his prior conduct and testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee,” Harris wrote in a letter, dated Sept. 17, to the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.).

Harris argued in her letter to Nadler and her essay for Elle that this fourth accusation suggests the judge may have lied under oath and that the original investigation into these claims was not sufficient enough.

“If we want to live in a country where women are believed and given access to the justice they deserve, we must roll up our sleeves and get to work holding our leaders accountable,” Harris wrote. “Especially those who serve on the highest court in our land.”

Although the House Judiciary Committee is “rightfully busy” with the recent impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump, Harris wrote, the country “shouldn’t let a crowded schedule get in the way of justice.”
