Kavanaugh threatened anew with impeachment as Supreme Court vote nears
Democrats renewed threats to impeach Judge Brett Kavanaugh should he be confirmed to the high court, as Republicans moved forward with a series of votes heading into the weekend.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, set a committee vote on Kavanaugh for Friday afternoon, while Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., planned a full floor vote for early next week.
Kavanaugh is poised to at least make it out of committee, with the late-breaking support of GOP Sen. Jeff Flake — after the panel heard dramatic testimony from the nominee and Christine Blasey Ford, who accuses him of sexually assaulting her in 1982.
While Kavanaugh denies the charge, some Democrats already are raising the prospect of impeachment if he's confirmed.
The latest threat came from former national press secretary for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign Brian Fallon. He tweeted Thursday night that “Kavanaugh will not serve for life.”
“If Senate GOP ignores Dr. Blasey Ford and tries to muscle an attempted rapist onto the Supreme Court: 1. They will pay dearly this November. 2. Senators up in 2020 (Collins, Gardner et al) will feel intense heat for the next two years. 3. Kavanaugh will not serve for life,” Fallon tweeted.

FWIW I don't think removing a sitting justice is that easy.
