Jerry Nadler (D-NY) \u2014 have called for an investigation into the sexual assault allegations against Kavanaugh. (Kavanaugh has denied all the allegations made against him).<\/p>\n<p>Nadler, who would become committee chairman if Democrats win back the House, made it clear he would like to do a thorough investigation into both the sexual assault and misconduct allegations brought by Christine Blasey Ford and other women, as well as claims that Kavanaugh perjured himself in sworn testimony in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee.<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\">It is possible that sufficiently egregious criminal findings proven by such an investigation may prompt Roberts, who is very big on institutional reputation, could side with Democrats to force Pervert Kava-Nazi to resign over violations of the Judicial Code of Conduct. That may be our best hope.
