Democratic Presidential candidates call for Kavanaugh’s impeachment

Based on the fresh line of sexual assault accusations from his time at Yale University along with the previous year's accusation from his high school years, several Democratic Presidential Candidates have called for the impeachment of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh on September 16. Last October, there were emotional hearings in the Senate which confirmed Kavanaugh's involvement in a sexual assault in his high school. A New York Publication now reports that Kavanaugh faced a separate allegation at Yale which hasn't been investigated by FBI. As per the reports, Kavanaugh's Yale classmate Deborah Ramirez claimed that Kavanaugh exposed himself to her during a drunken party. Yet Kavanaugh had denied all allegations of impropriety while testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee last year.
