A House Democrat called on his colleagues Wednesday to "rise up" if Republican senators push forward with Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation without hearing from his sexual assault accuser, Christine Blasey Ford.
"For the men and women of the House of Representatives, we must rise up in disgust and anger and make certain that our voice is clear," Rep. John Garamendi, D-Calif., said during an interview with CNN. "Get the facts out. Give this woman the benefit of the doubt. Don't treat her as so many women have been treated time after time in courtroom after courtroom."
Only the Senate has advise and consent responsibilities under the Constitution, rendering the House powerless to express any concerns over nominees named by the president for certain administration positions.
Instead, Garamendi suggested that he and other House lawmakers march over to the Senate because Kavanaugh's nomination was a "defining moment in the #MeToo movement."(continued)

1860 all over again.
Sounds like an opportunity for removals.
Getting closer and closer to the edge. This country so needs a purge. Will the GOP hold?
This is what happens when you don’t cut off the heads of the serpents!!! Jeff Sessions has done some serious damage by NOT standing up for our president from the beginning...damn backstabbing weasel!!! This wouldn’t have taken place if the republicans had a spine from the getgo!! WE GAVE THEM THE HOUSE, THE SENATE AND governorships cross the country and they act like they are the minority! I am so sick of this crap! If they don’t confirm kavanuagh there will be hell to pay from us!!!!
That is what they need to do.
R’s should ignore them and censure them when necessary, when they get mad enough and walk out, have all the legislation ready to bring up for a vote.
If they want stay out, fine....
VOTE without them.. get SOMETHING done for a change.
If any Rs want to join them, start stripping chairs and ‘important’ jobs.
EVENTUALLY, the voters will step up with a very loud WTF??
Yet another Cali liberal.... imagine that.
Leftists are too much.
Too emotional.
In other words don't give Kavanaugh the benefit of the doubt.
We did rise up. It happened November 2 years ago...
Ford is given an opportunity to speak, she refuses to appear in front of the senate.
Who cares what this insect has to say?
It’s more a plan. Trump bad for women.
They know their base is unhinged and thats what they want.
Ultimate goal is destroy the Constitution and Liberty.
Institute a Socialist order of governance in the USA.
This is your Democrat Party.
The President is destroying this stupid ideology.
Good. But conservatives will bring the rope.
If this is sustained, the third box has failed.
What's it gonna be girl? Yes or No?
Please do it. Make those midterms worthwhile. Gonna be a bloodbath. I can’t wait to vote them out!
Call for a rumble! “Rocks, belts, pipes, cans, bricks, bats, clubs, chains . . .” Guns?
“Getting closer and closer to the edge. This country so needs a purge. Will the GOP hold?”
The GOP are doing everything they can to force this mess onto the people. #SCUM
