We were Brett Kavanaugh’s drinking buddies. We don’t think he should be confirmed.
WaPo ^ | Oct. 4, 2018 | Charles Ludington , Lynne Brookes and Elizabeth Swisher

Posted on 10/04/2018 7:12:32 PM PDT by Rennes Templar

Charles Ludington, Lynne Brookes and Elizabeth Swisher attended Yale University from 1983 to 1987 with Supreme Court nominee Brett M. Kavanaugh.

We were college classmates and drinking buddies with Supreme Court nominee Brett M. Kavanaugh. In the past week, all three of us decided separately to respond to questions from the media regarding Brett’s honesty, or lack thereof. In each of our cases, it was his public statements during a Fox News TV interview and his sworn testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee that prompted us to speak out.

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. 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.

Since coming forward, we each have received numerous angry messages accusing us of attempting to ruin a man’s life because of his drunken antics as a college student. In fact, none of us condemned Brett for his frequent drunkenness. We drank too much in college as well. It is true that Brett acknowledged he sometimes drank “too many beers.” But he also stated that he never drank to the point of blacking out.

All of us went to Yale, whose motto is “Lux et Veritas” (Light and Truth). Brett also belonged to a Yale senior secret society called Truth and Courage. We believe that Brett neither tells the former nor embodies the latter. For this reason, we believe that Brett Kavanaugh should not sit on the nation’s highest court.

well, let’s see if its’ really true he did drink to excess and so much so,that he couldn’t remember... then he wouldn’t have been lying under oath.

Good thing these clowns don’t get to decide anything...

“They state he was frequently drunk, and saw him stumbling drunk.”
But was he “Secretary of State” level drunk?

Do Lynne and Eliabeth speak in little girl voices, too?

I’ve heard that Charles wears women’s clothing!

Not one of the 3 authors/Hillary voters saw him pass out/black out.

I hope they have many drinks to celebrate his swearing in.

College drinking buddies are experts on someone else’s college drinking practices? That’s like the pot calling the kettle black. Maybe we should go back, and examine their college behavior under the influence, and determine how fit they are for their current jobs.

Give an example of something he forgot.

Blackout is actually quite a bit beyond the stumbling stage.

“They state he was frequently drunk, and saw him stumbling drunk.”

What’s the problem?

Beyond the drinking, they are accusing him of lying under oath, based on speculation.

If I recall correctly, the first one, Ludington, was hardly a “buddy,” but rather someone which there was significant friction with Judge Kavanaugh.

In his entire public career as a lawyer and judge no one has ever accused Judge Kavanaugh of being drunk on the job or preying on his female co-workers. Who the f**k cares if Kavanaugh liked the sauce in college?

You know, I went to a party state school and did not see this level of drunkedness. And I can’t imagine anyone that bad would have been accepted to Yale. Sounds like faggotry English major types, pissing and moaning.

"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."

And presumably all of them are experts in the effects of alcohol on memory, instead of just political hacks.
