In a bizarre action, a Democratic Party super PAC has filed Perjury Charges against Judge Brett Kavanaugh, President Donald Trump’s nominee for the Supreme Court. They claim that the Judge perjured himself in front of Congress way back in 2004 and/or 2007. To top that off they have filed these charges with the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C.
