Reason 1,593,004 to GOTV, Brett Kavanaugh perjured himself during his 2018 confirmation.

The Brett Kavanaugh factor that no one is talking about

...it feels like it was a lifetime ago, but Brett Kavanaugh committed provable perjury during his confirmation hearing, and the statute of limitations hasn’t run out yet. If Donald Trump loses, the post-Trump DOJ could easily have Kavanaugh indicted for perjury, leaving Kavanaugh with little choice but to resign as part of a plea deal or non-prosecution deal.

We have no way of knowing for sure if this is going to happen. But given the way things are playing out, would anyone expect the post-Trump DOJ not to ring up Kavanaugh for perjury? Certainly, Senate Democrats will make the criminal referral to the DOJ, and the DOJ could very well act on it. - Palmer Report


Perjury, which has a statute of limitation of five years under federal law, is a high bar to meet, but it might have teeth in getting back a stolen seat on the bench, if democrats/Americans take back the senate.

The Evidence Is Clear: Brett Kavanaugh Lied to the Senate Judiciary Committee

Palmer Report? Not a lot of confidence in what they say. A technicality at best. Hoyt Sep 2020 #2
Regardless of source, shouldn't you be asking if it has merit? ffr Sep 2020 #3

You're committing a fallacy of association by quickly discounting something based on its source.
