Relevance? He hasn't claimed he didn't drink underage. LWNJ strawman.

You need to revisit his testimony because you are factually incorrect. Hey, it happens - being wrong.

Again, what did he lie about when discussing his age? He said he was 17. He also said some 18 year olds could legally purchase alcohol. Neither were lies.

Who said Kavanaugh was wrongly accused. None of us know that. But his belligerence and hostile behavior is not someone we should have on the supreme court. Plus his partisanship was evident.

We shouldn't have a justice who gets drunk and falls asleep at a SOTU ... and yet, here we are.

Sweetums...till he s told NO.

Partisanship. That's hilarious. To which party do the Senators making these accusations belong? To which party does Sen. Schumer, who vowed to never approve his nomination belong? To which party does the Senator who sat on these accusations for two months belong?

Of course many kids indulged in things they were not legally supposed to but then there were the real gluttons who overdid everything they indulged in and made real obnoxious asses of themselves. We all knew jerkwads like that throughout the school years. It appears that Kavanaugh might have been one of those. An entitled son of a judge who knew that his future was mapped out and guaranteed...a kid who would be pushed thru the pipeline and thru the system that would bring him to the threshold of the SCOTUS and when he saw that he was being challenged, he lashed out like the Brat Kavanaugh he is.

The Entitled Rage of Brett Kavanaugh
This presumption, that elites are elite because they deserve to be, is something more pernicious that the self-mythology of the successful. It is an alternate reality — a high-walled fortress that preserves and protects the false correlation between status and good character — and worse, establishes an authority intolerant of dissent. No one who doesn’t live inside is allowed to criticize those who do, and all who do live there are bound, by a kind of frat-boy omertà, not to. This is not too far from the worldview of bishops who protect abusing priests and moguls who regard starlets as entitlements.

What seems to have triggered Kavanaugh most of all, the thing that evinced all his unmodulated rage — the twitchy sniffs and the pursed lips, the adolescent sarcasm and the hollering — is that a woman outside his tribe dared to challenge his vision of himself.

Please explain how that makes him a liar under oath? He said he was a senior in high school when he drank. He never said he was 18 years old at the time. How was this a lie?
If you know something different please share it with us with at least a little bit of proof.

Saying Kavanaugh is wrongly accused is just as bad as saying Kavanaugh is 100% guilty.

Let the FBI do their job people! Geez.
