Kamala Harris said that she 'never believed' what the justices said about Roe v. Wade

Vice President Kamala Harris dodged a question about whether Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch should be impeached for allegedly lying to senators about their views on Roe v. Wade.

However, she did say that she "never believed them" when they testified at their confirmation hearings.

Harris, a Democrat from California who is a senator, asked Kavanaugh questions at his confirmation hearing in September 2018 and voted against Gorsuch in April 2017.

​”I start from the point of experience of having served in the Senate. I never believed them. I didn’t believe them. It’s why I voted against,” ​Harris told CBS News in a snippet of an interview scheduled to air Sunday on “Face the Nation.”​

The vice president did not say if the two people who were put in place by former President Donald Trump should be removed from office.

Critics of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, a landmark case from 1973 that guaranteed a woman's right to an abortion, have said that Kavanaugh and Gorsuch should be impeached because they lied to senators about how they felt about cases like Roe v. Wade, which had been the law for a long time.

In the June 24 decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, and Amy Coney Barrett all voted in favor.

She also defended the Democrats against those in their own party who said that lawmakers should have made Roe v. Wade the law when they had a majority in Congress. ​

Harris said Democrats believed it was “settled” law.

“I think that, to be very honest with you, I do believe that we should have rightly believed, but we certainly believed that certain issues are just settled,” she said. “Certain issues are just settled.”
