Democrat Wants House To Rise Up Against Senate If Kavanaugh Confirmed Without Ford Testimony

Only the Senate has advise and consent responsibilities under the Constitution, rendering the House powerless to express any concerns over nominees named by the president for certain administration positions.

Instead, Garamendi suggested that he and other House lawmakers march over to the Senate because Kavanaugh's nomination was a "defining moment in the #MeToo movement."

Ford publicly accused Kavanaugh Sunday of drunkenly forcing himself on her during a high school house party in the 1980s when she was 15 and he was 17. Kavanaugh has "categorically and unequivocally" denied the claim.

Kavanaugh is scheduled to answer questions about the alleged incident on Monday during a public session of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Ford does not want to testify in front of the panel until the FBI has investigated her accusation.
