Kavanaugh's former classmates, 'drinking buddies' call on Senate to vote 'no' on confirmation
Justin Wise
The former classmates of Kavanaugh's - Charles Ludington, Lynne Brookes and Elizabeth Swisher - wrote in an op-ed for the Washington Post on Thursday that they spoke out publicly because of what they felt like were dishonest statements from Kavanaugh during a Fox News interview and during his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee last week.
"We each asserted that Brett lied to the Senate by stating, under oath, that he never drank to the point of forgetting what he was doing," they write.
"We said, unequivocally, that each of us, on numerous occasions, had seen Brett stumbling drunk to the point that it would be impossible for him to state with any degree of certainty that he remembered everything that he did when drunk."
The three write that they "disrupted" their own lives by coming forward about Kavanaugh's alleged drinking.
"None of this is what we wanted, but we felt it our civic duty to speak the truth and say that Brett lied under oath while seeking to become a Supreme Court justice," they write, adding that they believe telling the truth is a "moral obligation for our nation's leaders."
"No one should be able to lie their way onto the Supreme Court," they add, before concluding that they believe "that Brett neither tells" the truth or is an embodiment of courage.
"For this reason, we believe that Brett Kavanaugh should not sit on the nation's highest court," they write.
The op-ed comes a week after Kavanaugh testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee regarding claims from Christine Blasey Ford that he sexually assaulted her during a high school party in the 1980's.
Kavanaugh has fiercely denied the accusation.
Kavanaugh said during his testimony that while he "likes beer," he never has blacked out from drinking.
In addition to Ludington, Brookes and Swisher, Jamie Roche, who shared a dorm with Kavanaugh at Yale, wrote in an op-ed for Slate on Wednesday that Kavanaugh "baldly" lied under oath about his drinking habits.
The Senate is set to move ahead with a procedural vote on Kavanaugh's nomination on Friday.

You are aware that your "source" is the Washington Post, don't you? May as well be the National Enquirer.

Seriously concerned that Kavanaugh won't be able to handle the extreme parties on the Supreme Court. Those motherfuckers go hard.

The Dims are shooting their own foot off. Now they have a Supreme Court judge who will rule against them at every turn simply out of revenge. Schumer, Pelosi, Waters, Booker, Harris, Leahy, Flake and Murkowski should just go ahead and resign right now.

I don't want him for the simple fact that he was a major supporter of the Patriot Act
But it seems like no one gives a flying fuck about that

They need to do an investigation on her.
And if she is found to have been untruthful, nail her ass for the drama circus she has needlessly caused.
There needs to be consequences or else anyone can claim anything on anybody at anytime.
That's today's politics for ya.

That’s how HIStory remembers “her”

Joe Manchin the Democratic Senator from WV already crossed the aisle. It's over. Oh, and don't forget in the event of a tie Mike Pence casts the tie-breaking vote.

And Murkowski, a republican senator voted NO on Kavanaugh!

Oh, so you’re talking about the op-Ed piece that Kavanaugh put in the Wall Street journal?

Kavanaugh is a shitty fucking conservative judge who used to grope girls in college and be a creep. Plus he's a fucking girls volleyball coach. The fact that he's apparently the best handpicked choice for the highest court in America is a testament to how weak and stupid America has become.
The world is laughing at you. Any liberal democracy would toss that pick and find another but America has slid so far into failure they can't see their way out of it.
Fuck your country. Every American is a dumb fat faggot and my citation is everything anyone ever reads about your country. Collectively kill yourselves. I my self feel stupid for underestimating American stupidity.
