I know these don't mean much but what happens if we get a few million signers?

(5,305 posts)The only downside is I'll be bombarded with a mountain of emails now asking me for donations. Will be sending that address to my spam file as soon as the donation requests start rolling in.

(6,544 posts)Kavanaugh should be impeached for perjury.
Orrex
(63,199 posts)He will say "my views on the subject have evolved" and that will be the end of it.
Accusing him of perjury, even though it's obviously true, will get us nowhere.
Better to expand the court.

(6,544 posts)Just tired of people getting away with this crap, with no consequences or accountability.
Orrex
(63,199 posts)Consequences are for other people.
And put simply I'd love to see him dragged out of his chair for whatever reason we can name. I just have no faith that anything as trivial as perjury (a jailable offense to you and me) will have any impact on his tenure.
Hell, if rape was no barrier to his approval (even among such "principled" Republicans as Flake, Collins, Murkowski & Romney) then a little deliberate falsehood under oath won't even move the needle.

(6,544 posts)Seemed like you were angry with me. I think we are in violent agreement. He should be impeached and removed because of his violent assualts and lying about them. But, he won't be.
Orrex
(63,199 posts)it still wouldn't make a difference. Thomas will go on happily polluting the nation and the world until he dies.

(16,357 posts)But it certainly has the potential to embarrass him and piss him off. To me, that's better than nothing.

A lot of people will do their surfing and email-reading tomorrow or Monday. So it should hit a million with no problem.

(94,490 posts)Precisely the point. If you want to engage in the belief that the House and Senate will Impeach and remove Justice Thomas, write an actual letter to your elected officials in Your own words and explain why they should. Thatll have 100 times the impact of an online petition signature.
