Yale Classmate Accuses Kavanaugh of ‘Blatant Mischaracterization’ of His Drinking
New York Times ^ | 10/01/2018 | Michael D. Shear and Robin Pogrebin

WASHINGTON — A Yale classmate of Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh’s accused him on Sunday of a “blatant mischaracterization” of his drinking while in college, saying that he often saw Judge Kavanaugh “staggering from alcohol consumption.”

The classmate, Chad Ludington, who said he frequently socialized with Judge Kavanaugh as a student, said in a statement that the judge had been untruthful in testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee when he had denied any possibility that he had ever blacked out from drinking.

Mr. Ludington said that Judge Kavanaugh had played down “the degree and frequency” of his drinking, and that the judge had often become “belligerent and aggressive” while intoxicated.

“It is truth that is at stake, and I believe that the ability to speak the truth, even when it does not reflect well upon oneself, is a paramount quality we seek in our nation’s most powerful judges,” Mr. Ludington said, adding that he planned to “take my information to the F.B.I.”

Mr. Ludington spoke to the Times between taking orders for hamburgers and cleaning the restrooms at the fast food chain where he works as an assistant shift supervisor and birthday party coordinator.

The world is unfortunately filled with jealous, small, petty people who would seize upon an opportunity to damage a rival while disparaging an ideology they disagree with with unprovable allegations.

Why is it, that we are going back to high school and college to dig up dirt on someone?

Because once Kavanaugh started working, there are actual records, dates, and identifiable colleagues and clients -- that show absolutely nothing and would immediately disprove any false allegations.

Two journalists - the more writers assigned to a story, the more lies it contains.

It was amazing how, in the fight for his life, Kavanaugh still wanted to protect that mans privacy.

I wouldn't know; but I don't think you graduate cum laude from Yale if you've made a habit of being a stumbling drunk.

There was reference to this at the hearing and Kavanaugh directed them to an individual and some redacted information about the person. I’m guessing there is history between them.

History shows that usually males named ‘chad’ are delegated to punch out duties. If he’s new wave then he is known as a ‘hangin chad’. /S

Kavanaugh doesn’t sound like the type who would “frequently socialize” with a leftwing girlyman. This clown is looking to get guest shots on “Da View” and the late night Lefty the Clown Shows.

Was reading up on the Borking of two judges that were both qualified for SCOTUS, before the Dem attack machine became apparent. A judge named Douglas Ginsberg was dropped because he admitted he had smoked marijuana. And now that’s legal. Just another step down the stairway to the destruction of our culture.

The ‘Rats need to get people to believe that Kavanaugh was a black-out drunk.

Their problem is that most people find Kavanaugh credible when he says he never did these things.

But if they can convince enough people that he was a black-out drunk, they will immediately claim that he did these thing, but does not remember.

That is why Kavanaugh is wise to push back against this allegation.

Kindergarten? Oh my God. We’ll find out little Brett pushed a girl on the playground, so he was into the war on women back then.

He may have pushed a black classmate in kindergarten, so obviously he’s a racist, etc. There’s lots of ammunition if they go back that far.

sarcasm, I think..........

Then again, I still am surprised they go back to high school now to dig up dirt on someone.

Is this the freshman year roomate who Kavanaugh indicated had a personal grudge against him? He mentioned it in a response on Thursday, apparently referencing a closed session discussion.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

No - that guy was James Roche

“James Roche, Kavanaugh’s roommate in Fall 1983, said in a statement posted on Twitter that they didn’t socialize together much, but would chat at night after Kavanaugh would return from outings with his friends.”

What a circus, so this liberal accuser thinks this has anything to do with his judicial qualifications?
