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 hasnt 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

Although, Kav is a worthless pissant.

(22,669 posts)3. Regardless of source, shouldn't you be asking if it has merit?
You're committing a fallacy of association by quickly discounting something based on its source.
