Before Judge Brett Kavanaugh can be confirmed to the Supreme Court and end freedom and shred the Constitution, the Resistance is throwing a bunch of stuff at the wall to see what sticks. Here’s the latest bit of flailing:

“The Democratic Coalition and its chairmen Jon Cooper & Scott Dworkin have filed a criminal complaint for perjury against Kavanaugh w/ the DoJ & will also file w/ the D.C. Circuit Court for…wait for it…Judge Merrick Garland’s review.” #StopKavanaugh https://t.co/HCka42vfwI

We’re not sure what they think he’s going to be able to do, but they’re trying.

Well, you’ve got to give the Resistance points for persistence.
Who wants to tell them?

OK, a few things here to unpack:
1) A private person can't file a criminal complaint in the U.S. federal court system. Not since 1981. Some states are different, but these are federal issues.
2) If you read carefully, you'll see that they didn't actually try to file a … https://t.co/spQLptiCtC— National Security Counselors (@NatlSecCnslrs) September 8, 2018
criminal case in court, presumably because they also know this and don't want to be laughed out of court. They sent this to DOJ, basically asking DOJ to file a criminal complaint.
3) W/o getting into the merits of the criminal allegations, I think it is …— National Security Counselors (@NatlSecCnslrs) September 8, 2018
very disingenuous to pitch this as "we filed a criminal complaint." I know that sounds sexier, but it's a patently false statement, & you should be better than that if you're complaining about someone else not telling the truth. Even if your allegations have merit, now you don't.

Good luck with that latest Hail Mary, Dems.

Have cameras focused on their faces when Garland dismisses the complaint.

Only thing funnier is is these looney tunes thinking Garland is going to exact some sweet revenge

It's amazing they keep doing this to themselves over and over and over.
Do they never get tired of the disappointment?

Apparently not.
Hey look, the “lawsuits” just keep coming:
