The left-wing magazine The Nation took it from there, calling on the Democrat-controlled House to impeach Kavanaugh. Even if impeachment were constitutionally possible for pre-confirmation actions, Republican control of the Senate would make it a pointless but potentially disastrous gesture.
But the author of the article, Elie Mystal, was undeterred: “I know some Democrats will say that bringing charges against Brett Kavanaugh—impeaching him—is pointless. Some "Democrats insist on living in a country where nothing is ‘worth it’ unless Republicans are likely to agree. I refuse to live in that world. If I waited for Republican approval before I tried something, I’d be shining shoes at Grand Central, as would befit my station.”
