#KavanaughImpeachment
Calls to impeach Justice Kavanaugh for allegedly lying during confirmation about Roe.
Origin & Impact
After Dobbs, senators cited Kavanaugh’s confirmation testimony where he called Roe “settled law” and “precedent.” Critics argued he deliberately misled senators to secure confirmation, warranting impeachment. The hashtag represented fury at perceived judicial deception and powerlessness to reverse the Court’s direction.
While impeachment had no realistic chance, the hashtag channeled anger into demands for Court expansion, term limits, or other reforms. It highlighted the permanent consequences of confirmation battles and erosion of trust in judicial impartiality.
