How is a SCOTUS judge who enjoys beer a national disaster but a POTUS who admitted to doing cocaine was no big deal?
The key word is admitting vs denying/lying.
One admits, while the other lies about it.
The beer is not the problem, lying under oath is the problem. Kavanaugh feels like he HAS TO lie, because admitting the black-outs would make it difficult to deny the sexual attack charge. If he had black-outs, the attack could have happened and he can't remember because of the black-out. THIS is the problem with having a history of being wild party-boy, no matter how long ago it happened.
The guy liked to party. Most people do. He never was arrested for drunk driving or anything like that.
Slurring, stumbling, aggressive behavior, bar fights etc indicate a very severe levels of intoxication, which guarantee memory black-outs. A black-out is common and not a crime, but makes it impossible to claim with 100% certainty things did not happen. If you can't remember, you don't know. This is why he has to lie about the black-outs. The problem is that you cannot lie under oath, because it is against the law.
The typical liberal-dem posters continue to bash anyone who isn't a dem. If this SCOTUS candidate was a dem - they would be defending him tooth and nail.
