Agreed with an outtamojo: a judge that’s not a teetotaler would be nice. The US is generally too Puritanical, obnoxiously religious, and holier-than-thou.
Problem is that Kavanaugh seems to have been an abusive bully whilst drunk. That’s often when true personalities come out. A violent drunk is often just an inhibited violent lout.
Also, why lie about drinking in college? 99% of college students probably got drunk — it’s nothing to be ashamed of in itself. Either he has skeletons, or he’s a compulsive liar.
I may even believe him that he didn’t remember abusing his victims — he may have either been blackout drunk or did it so many times that he didn’t remember individuals.
Lastly, his political views are terrible. He appears to be a typical GOP conservative where only the 2nd and 10th Amendments matter. His record on the 4th Amendment is dismal. He wants to tear down ACA or any kind of public insurance.
And I’m willing to bet that he’ll stand behind drug warrior cops and frivolous arrests for underage drinking despite what he claims he didn’t do at Yale. Nothing stinks worse than hypocrisy. What’s good for me isn’t good for thee.
When I saw him tear up on live TV like a high-school bully about to be paddled in the arse, I laughed like hell. Nothing funnier than a bully in power getting his pants jerked off in public. Public humiliation is good for the soul.
