Pressley explained “It’s deeply disturbing that someone that serves on the highest court of the land can have this many allegations, and this is why I’ve filed the resolution to initiate an impeachment inquiry.”

USAToday reports Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., introduced an impeachment resolution against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh after a new report of alleged sexual misconduct.

“I believe Christine Blasey Ford. I believe Deborah Ramirez. It is our responsibility to collectively affirm the dignity and humanity of survivors,” she said in a statement to Boston public radio station WBUR.

Pressley referred to the two women who accused Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct during his contentious nomination process last October.

“Sexual predators do not deserve a seat on the nation’s highest court, and Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation process set a dangerous precedent,” Pressley told WBUR. “We must demand justice for survivors and hold Kavanaugh accountable for his actions.”

The two-page resolution asks the House Judiciary Committee to investigate the possibility of impeachment.

Democratic leadership seems to have little appetite for a fight over impeachment, and the resolution is unlikely to go anywhere.

Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., the No. 2 Senate Democrat, told Politico on Monday, “We’ve got to get beyond this ‘impeachment is the answer to every problem.’ It’s not realistic.

“If that’s how we are identified in Congress, as the impeachment Congress, we run the risk that people will feel we’re ignoring the issues that mean a lot to them as families,” he continued.
