“Drunks and souses shouldn't sit on the Supreme Court..."

Dosing off at a State of the Union Address is understandable, no matter who is speaking. That the speaker was Obama should tickle you to no end.

A glass of wine with dinner does not a drunk make.

Sounds like Justice Kennedy brought the bottle of wine to dinner and they all had a glass.

This happened in 2015. The speaker was Obama.

Easy enough to nod off during any State of the Union Address.

The State of the Union is generally optional in reality, isn't it. Scalia started skipping them.

it's understandably, she's a heavy drinker, old, the SOTU starts at 9pm....

What's your point? She probably had a glass of wine and was making a playful, polite excuse for dozing off, instead of saying impolitely that she found it boring.

Surely you're not going to compare that with Kavanaugh who was drinking to excess, to the point of belligerence.

If I may step in here -- as a person well acquainted with alcohol --- Kavanaugh's heavy drinking was while he was in HIGH SCHOOL and COLLEGE. That's a long time ago!

Alcohol is probably the only thing that's keeping the old crone alive.

Honestly I don't care much about Kavanaugh drinking beyond the conversation that it may have contributed to his other actions-including the possibility that he doesn't remember them....... But I care a GREAT deal about him lying about it. One is just overindulging while young-no big deal. But the lying is a insight into a deeply flawed character.



When did being a liar become a positive character trait?

SOTU would make for a good drinking game honestly
