Top Democratic Senator on Push for Kavanaugh Impeachment: ‘Get Real’

Top Democratic Senator on Push for Kavanaugh Impeachment: ‘Get Real’: Top Democrats are dismissing calls to impeach Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, which were sparked by a new article that rehashes old allegations against the justice and one newly reported claim that the alleged victim doesn’t recall. Asked about the push on Sept. 16, Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) told Politico, “Get real.” “We’ve got to get beyond this ‘impeachment is the answer to every problem.’ It’s not realistic,” Durbin said. “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.” See original work for more on this and other stories.
