The NY Times has run a piece with fresh sexual harassment complaints from back in day against US Supreme Court justice Brett Kavanaugh…
The last time this happened Kavanaugh goy his job on the court…
Efforts to impeach him isn’t gonna work anymore then the last time…
But several candidates for the 2020 Presidential nomination have joined in calling for an impeachment hearing on the judge…
