Kavanaugh seems to have lied about underage drinking in his interview.

[roamer65]

Maryland changed the drinking age to 21 for beer and wine in 1982, well before his 18th birthday.

He blathers about the 18 drinking age, but he would have NEVER have been legal at GP.

He would have not been legal until 1986, well after he left the school.

This POS is definitely a scumbag liar.

[BigmanPigman]

1. He also said he was a virgin through high school and college on Fux Ruse.

LIAR! Where is the FBI?

[sheshe2]

11. LOL

[uponit7771]

18. AND COLLEGE !?!? This guy is stupid ?! They shoot themselves in the foot !! They lie when silence or

... the truth would serve them better

[BigmanPigman]

21. I remember this saying that they should adopt...

"Tis better to be silent and thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt". He is a fool for not keeping his big mouth shut! When he said a virgin into his college years as well I thought that someone will come forward to say, "What?!?!" That seems too easy to disprove.

[dchill]

2. Forgiven. What else you got?

Jesus and God want him on the Supreme Court. Other opinions, laws, ethics, rules or morals even come close to our weighing that totem.

[spanone]

3. they are getting all his lies out there....fox will promote them for the next 2 days

[Horse with no Name]

4. Thank you! I was driving when I heard that

When I was 18 in 81, the drinking age was 18.
It changes in 82 when I was 19 to 19.
When I was 21 in 84, it changed to 21.
The fucker lied.

[LakeSuperiorView]

6. We are the same age. In Minnesota, once we gained the right to drink alcohol, we were grandfathered

Anyone in my class year and the year after could drink, those younger could not. It went from where you drink pretty much anywhere on campus as long as you were not being an ass, to mandatory fines if your beer broke the lane of your dorm room door. Of course that was college campus rules, but we were legal to buy and consume alcohol by state law.

I have no idea if Maryland's laws were the same as Minnesota's but it possible that he was grandfathered the same as people my age in Minnesota.

[roamer65]

7. He turned 18 in 1983.

He was born just slightly after me in 1965. He wouldn’t have been grandfathered, since MD passed the 21 law in 1982.

This guy tries to lie his way out of everything.

[LakeSuperiorView]

9. Thank you. I didn't know how old he was.

In a normal world, that alone should disqualify him.

[roamer65]

10. How's everything up in MN, tonite?

Bet u folks are getting cold now.

Welcome aboard, btw.

[LakeSuperiorView]

14. It's turning colder but haven't lit the pilot light on the furnace yet.

Half hoping for a good hard frost to kill off the pollen producers - my allergies are horrible right now.

[roamer65]

17. Same here in MI.

My allergies are bad 2. Can’t wait for a couple of good frosts.

[former9thward]

19. Your stored water isn't going to freeze is it?

Hope not....

[roamer65]

28. lakesuperiorview's water will freeze before mine.

It turns way colder much faster up there.

[R Merm]

20. Not every State grandfathered

[roamer65]

24. Michigan didn't.

We shoved it back up to 21 in 1978.

Didn’t stop it, though. The booze flowed freely when I was in university.

[eggplant]

26. My sister got burned by this.

She could drink for a year, then was underage for two more. When she eventually turned 21, we were vacationing in a dry county, if you can believe that.

[Freethinker65]

5. Why lie about underaged drinking at an all boys prep school in the 80s?

No one would have cared. He just had to lie to protect his squeaky clean image? I was in high school in the 80s and plenty of kids drank.

This guy obviously did not think his answers through. Sillier than Bill Clinton's I smoked marijuana but I didn't inhale. Just tell the truth. He was nominated to be a Supreme Court Justice and he chose to lie about underaged drinking. Idiot.

[Blue_true]

8. I lied about the drinking to innoculate himself from the drunken sexual assaults and rapes.

For a guy who is supposed to be so smart, he is really making dumb mistakes and has painted himself into at least two different corners.

[Mike Nelson]

12. Well...

… give the guy a break! it's not as if he was interested in being a lawyer, or anything. It's not as if he was interested in going anywhere alcohol was served. it's not as if his father was a judge and his mother was a lawyer... so why on earth would he know?

[bottomofthehill]

13. Drinking age in DC was still 18 for beer and wine

So unless he did all of his drinking in DC we know he is not telling the truth once again

[FBaggins]

15. I don't think he said that he was legal

He said that there was often beer at parties because the seniors were legal.

[torius]

16. Drug use other than pot is considered to disqualifying for SCOTUS

Yet regular, fall-down drinking is fine.

[Samspadesnark]

22. From what I read:

Not only did he claim to be a virgin until he was several years post-high school graduation, he also claimed that he had never assaulted anyone, that he had never even witnessed any sort of sexual assault (were his frat parties all baby-christening events??), that he did not know Christine Blasey and did not remember ever meeting her, and that he did not attend the party in question – a huge mistake, because its date, time, and location have yet to be disclosed by Dr. Ford. His lies about the drinking, and Maryland's drinking age, are just piled on top of this. He continues to show his utter stupidity, just as Trump does, by lying about trivial, extraneous, and verifiable things.

It's the equivalent to Trump swearing that he's never been to Russia, never met a Russian, never done business in Russia, and never had sex outside of marriage. It's just full-blown preposterous – but extremely Stalinesque. I don't know whether Moscow is involved with Kavanaugh's PR campaign or its funding, but the level of absurdity and mendacity of his defensive attacks seems very Kremlinly to me.

I now expect him to say all of these things when he goes back under oath on Thursday – which is why a thorough FBI check of this man, including his gambling and quirky finances, is imperative. This is no longer an issue of 'mere' sexual harassment: it is an issue of someone baldly lying under oath (he lied multiple times in his application papers, if I understand it correctly, as well as during the prior hearings) today and without apology, and simultaneously demanding a seat on the United States Supreme Court. Apart from Trump himself, I've never seen white male privilege writ this large.

[YOHABLO]

23. You think these preppy kids didn't drink at their ''parties'' while underage? HA what a joke.

I was no preppy kid, but we sure the hell found a way to get beer, and liquor.

[roamer65]

27. They most definitely did.

It’s the lying about it that is now the issue.

[Izzy Blue]

25. He then went to Yale in Connecticut and wasn't legal there too.

It was either 20 or 21 in the early 80s.
I do remember them raising it from 20 to 21.
