While I agree with that statement, and don't care if (or how much) he drank in high school. For me, it was his laughable defense of the drinking - "Ralph club - biggest contributor" - due to his "weak stomach"? He should have just owned up to all of it like an adult and not sat there with horrible excuses that even his parent didn't buy back in the day. Seems there were some money issues that could have used a little more investigation as well.
While I agree that drinking habits in high school should not be an issue, they became an issue because he lied about them.Topper wrote: ↑Sun Oct 07, 2018 9:17 am
... the focus shifted to his party habits in high school and university. That is laughable and at the same time very frightening. To witness the minutiae dissection of the high school yearbook entry was nothing short of McCarthyism.

... I'm even reading criticism of his silver spoon prep school upbringing as if he had a choice in those matters.
What matters in a SCOTUS associate is their ability to make sound legal decisions, not their party drinking habits in high school.

There are some legal opinions of Justice Kavenaugh I do not agree with, and fortunately the the courts did not agree either, but when the 11th hour sexual assault allegations fell through because there was no corroborating evidence, the focus shifted to his party habits in high school and university. That is laughable and at the same time very frightening. To witness the minutiae dissection of the high school yearbook entry was nothing short of McCarthyism.
Dr Ford could not recall a where or when, she was even unsure of the year that something may have happened to her. The four other people she placed at the party say they were not there and know nothing of the incident. Swetnick was a sick joke. Deborah Ramirez had no collaboration. All these allegations came to the public after the formal conformation hearings that examined the back ground and jurisprudence of Justice Kavenaugh.
It is no wonder that Dr Ford wished her allegations to remain secret. She knew there was nothing backing them up.
First Trump put his name forward, Dems hated him before examining his record and vowed not to have him appointed. Next came the Senate Judiciary hearings where Dems hated him and tried to get him to answer leading questions on matters that may one day face the Supreme Court. Justice Kavenaugh was smart enough to see through them.
Once it became clear they could not defeat him on his jurisprudence, out came the meritless sexual assault allegations. Calmer heads in the House saw the holes in the story. Then came the high school and university drinking. I'm even reading criticism of his silver spoon prep school upbringing as if he had a choice in those matters.

Sorry I meant the republican atttempt to impeach Clinton which apparently Kavanaugh was the judge.?
Drinking, he admitted he may have drank to the point of falling asleep. Other's claim he blacked out...semantics me thinks.
Yeah, he obviously has the qualifications, and as I stated earlier, if it were not for Merrick Garland, I think the democrats would have confirmed him without making a fuss. But because of the way the republicans obstructed in the case of Garland, they now left no stone unturned.Topper wrote: ↑Sun Oct 07, 2018 5:26 pmDrinking, he admitted he may have drank to the point of falling asleep.

Busting his ass at Yale. He did end up as a SCOTUS Clerk out of Law School. Only the brightest get that consideration. Doubt if anyone weaves their way delivering parking lot of pizzas for that.
A comment he made during the excruciating exam of his high school year book. A comment made with a sigh, an eye roll and possibly a penl flip (sharpie) reminiscent of Dave Hodge. ...we were trying to be like Animal House.....
In reality they were more like Omegas than Deltas.

It is no better today than 3 years ago except a normal change in a country. Actually it probably is a worse place today than 3 years with the increase of tension occurring and fully supported by the White House. Have never seen a leader so one sided in my life, only his supports are good and everyone else is fake or wrong, so much hate I am surprised there has not been any bloodshed yet. Except of course the good ol people who run cars into others or maybe send packages to news outlets and ex presidents.
I guess that is a another typical day in the good old USA.
I can see why you like Trump and he is your hero.Strangelove wrote: ↑Wed Oct 24, 2018 12:17 pmSo these "10,000 + people".... are morons??Reefer2 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 24, 2018 11:53 amWho has done what?
