WASHINGTON Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh has calendars from the summer of 1982 that he plans to hand over to the Senate Judiciary Committee that do not show a party consistent with the description of his accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, according to someone working for his confirmation.
The calendars do not disprove Dr. Blaseys allegations, Judge Kavanaughs team acknowledged. He could have attended a party that he did not list. But his team will argue to the senators that the calendars provide no corroboration for her account of a small gathering at a house where he allegedly pinned her to a bed and tried to remove her clothing.
The calendars show, according to the person working for his confirmation, that he was out of town much of the summer at the beach or away with his parents. When he was at home, the calendars list his basketball games, movie outings, football workouts and college interviews. A few parties are mentioned but include names of friends other than those identified by Dr. Blasey.

Do NOT hand them over until this woman testifies.
Dont you know that they would hand her lawyers the dates and then they could pick and choose whatever fits her narrative.

These are not wall calendars you hang on a nail.
These are legal notepads with dates where you write your schedule in.

YOUVE seen the calendars?
Funny, not once did I think “calendar” meant something you hang on a wall. I always thought it meant Day Planner.
A very methodical person who is career driven and learned to take notes while in High School. That is why he is very organized and will make a great justice.
Plus not ONE witness. No one witness who will say Ford told them about what happen. Parents not coming forth.
LET ME REPEAT...ALL FOUR PEOPLE SUPPOSEDLY LISTED DENY BEING THERE OR SEEING KAVANAUGH AT A PARTY.
i wasn’t getting excited, he has been in law his entire adultr life..she picked the wrong guy to mess with..
I have diaries from teenage years, especially age 15+. I spent a year abroad and tried to detail it pretty meticulously, and came back senior year still in the habit. Of somebody as high achieving as Kavanaugh, this is not surprising at all. I’ve kept all diaries from age 13 on.
Who keeps those?
________________
My husband. He uses punchhole day planners and at the end of every month, puts the used ones in a file and inserts the new month’s. He has boxes of client files that go back 23 years and portfolios of projects from his years in commercial art and jewelry. Every house project has its own file of plans, materials lists and receipts.
He keeps receipts, cancelled checks, owners manuals, a few newspaper clips that had meaning and has always been a photographer, so we have rolls of negatives, boxes of slides, all the old media and prints. He kept his old hard drives.
We are downsizing, so much of that has been triaged just this year. He is 67 and just discarded paperwork from the 1970s a few years ago.
I think it is genetic. His father died in 1994 and had memorabilia, including tax receipts, newspapers and letters, etc from the 1950s plus items from pre-WWII Norway. His mother passed in the ‘80s and she had kept the boys’ old toys, school projects, recipes, newspaper clippings, personal letters, holiday cards and actual diaries. We have scrapbooks and diaries from his maternal grandmother. We may have a few items left from his Norwegian grandparents, pre-WWI.
Some people are very organized and value such record-keeping. Me, OTOH: I live in the moment and have a tiny little collection of papers and such from my past 75 years. When I triaged my art portfolios, my husband snuck out some of the discards and squirreled them away.
A logical mind with an appreciation for history, a connection to identity and a sense of personal culture is what I associate with this behavior.
The only difference this makes is that now democrats have ammunition for several more games they can play to demand a that everything be delayed well beyond Thursday.
JMHo
Absolutely... I kept every single LES though my first 12 years of the AF.
Who keeps those?”””
You might be surprised by what people keep. I am a life-long bookkeeper/accounting person. I bought my first house in 1966, when the capital gains tax structures on personal residences were entirely different than today’s structure. Since then, I bought a house in 1989, another in 2005, and inherited one in 1980. The capital gains tax structures were changed in 1994.
I have my tax records & supporting documents all the way back to 1963. Was talking with a friend last week about trying to reconstruct ALL the events I rode while doing long distance horse events called endurance. When I started that sport, the main organization did NOT keep records of rides under 50 miles in length. Today, they award lifetime miles to those shorter events. I wanted to detail ALL my rides.
I mentioned that I am confused about how many events I entered/finished in 1986. He was laughing at me....You have those expense records for 1986? he said. I said I have things back to 1963. He quit laughing.
I think the release/leak of this, and the information about her friend not corroborating her story last night, are to put pressure on her and her team about testifying at all. Would not be surprise if she doesn’t show, and gives a major set of media interviews instead.
exactly. girls keep diaries; boys keep planners.
Exactly. And the Blasey Ford apologists on Twitter are aflame with condescending remarks insinuating he must be some kind of loser for keeping those, or even having them.
Rather they should us exactly the kind of meticulous, every detail counts, kind of man you’d want on the Supreme Court.
“”WHY IN THE GOOD WORLD WOULD ANYONE BELIEVE ANYTHING FROM THE FAILING NEW YORK TIMES!!!!!!””
We can hope it’s true - why bad mouth it?
Same here. Unless the calendar photos are spectacular, no one keeps those. Most organized, office person types keep day planners. I should, but do not.
