An Oct. 7 WorldNetDaily article complained that “Democrats and the Washington Post teamed up” to plot the impeachment of newly installed Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, huffing that “The headline on the story in the Jeff Bezos’ paper said it all: ‘With Kavanaugh confirmed, impeachment could follow. Here’s how.'” The article added that “Of course, impeachment proceedings would be contingent on Democrats regaining control of the House, where impeachment charges must begin.”
Two days later, another WND article tried to shoot down the idea:
Democrats who vowed to impeach Brett Kavanaugh even before he was sworn in as associate justice of the Supreme Court will have to contend with the Constitution, points out Harvard Law School Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz.
Kavanaugh could not be impeached on the grounds of the accusation by Christine Blasey Ford of sexual assault 36 years ago, because it pertains to alleged actions as a private citizen, Dershowitz explained in an interview with Fox News.
Further, he said, the Constitution would not “permit using the laws of perjury, which are very tough.”
Dershowitz also believes Democrats would pay a high political price.
WND has previously expressed similar concerns about impeachment talk against President Trump. But as we’ve noted, WND was promoting the idea of impeaching Hillary Clinton in May 2015, a year and a half before the 2016 election, and just a couple days before the November 2016 election, WND was touting how “If Hillary Clinton wins the election Tuesday, a prominent Republican member of the House Judiciary Committee says there will be an immediate move to impeach her before she can even be sworn into office Jan. 20.”
So, yeah, WND is once again being just a tad hypocritical on impeachment talk.
