"...Ramirez said that, when both she and Kavanaugh were freshmen at Yale, she was invited by a friend on the womens soccer team to a dorm-room party. She recalled that the party took place in a suite at Lawrance Hall, in the part of Yale known as the Old Campus, and that a small group of students decided to play a drinking game together. We were sitting in a circle, she said. People would pick who drank. Ramirez was chosen repeatedly, she said, and quickly became inebriated. At one point, she said, a male student pointed a gag plastic penis in her direction. Later, she said, she was on the floor, foggy and slurring her words as that male student and another stood nearby. (Ramirez identified the two male onlookers, but, at her request, The New Yorker is not naming them.)
A third male student then exposed himself to her. I remember a penis being in front of my face, she said. I knew that's not what I wanted, even in that state of mind. She recalled remarking, Thats not a real penis, and the other students laughing at her confusion and taunting her, one encouraging her to kiss it. She said that she pushed the person away, touching it in the process. Ramirez, who was raised a devout Catholic in Connecticut, said that she was shaken. I wasnt going to touch a penis until I was married, she said. I was embarrassed and ashamed and humiliated. She remembers Kavanaugh standing to her right and laughing, pulling up his pants. Brett was laughing, she said. I can still see his face, and his hips coming forward, like when you pull up your pants. She recalled another male student shouting about the incident. Somebody yelled down the hall, Brett Kavanaugh just put his penis in Debbies face, she said. It was his full name. I dont think it was just Brett. And I remember hearing and being mortified that this was out there."

He has a woman who wants to give credible info on Kavanaugh and Mark Judge.

He should not only not be confirmed, he should be removed from his current position on the Court of Appeals and disbarred. I know that in NY good character is required for admission to the Bar; I would imagine that the same is true in other jurisdictions.
