Impeach Kavanaugh The Purjurer

If, as Chuck Grassley, Mitch McConnell and the rest of the Republican caucus of the Senate seem to be bent on doing, they put Brett Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court, as soon as Democrats have control of either the House or both the House and Senate, they should make him the second Supreme Court member to be impeached and the first to be successfully removed from office by impeachment.  There is no absolute necessity that he lie about it during these confirmation hearings, he has already lied about it under oath.  But even if he doesn't, technically, lie about what he did in regard to stolen Democratic Senators files when he was a legal hack for the Bush II regime, the House and Senate are not bound by the strictest rules of evidence in the impeachment process.  It isn't a law court because there is no right for anyone to hold a public office, holding a public office is, or ought to be considered, first and foremost, a chosen responsibility and, second, a privilege.  It is dangerous to hold people in those positions to the same rules as are allegedly required to convict everyday citizens of crimes.  Removal from office is not the same thing as convicting some poor person of a crime and sending them to jail, the liberty of an innocent person is not a privilege, it is a right.  At least until the Republican-fascist court changes that.  

Brett Kavanaugh is unfit to be a member of a Supreme Court, he's hardly the only one you can say that about on the court he's being named to.  Roberts and Alito both lied about having made up their mind on issues, Neil Gorsuch certainly did as Charles Pierce pointed out in his column the other day.   Clarence Thomas lied about his sexual harassment of Anita Hill.  But Brett Kavanaugh's perjury was done in plain sight, without any question and was about crimes committed against the very foundations of democratic government.  

No matter what, he and Neil Gorsuch were placed on the Court by an illegitimate president who is the puppet of billionaires, foreign and domestic.  They should always be considered to be as illegitimate as the president who put them there.
