[GoldenSF]

From 60 Minutes

Scott Pelley: "If Judge Kavanaugh is shown to have lied to the committee, nomination's over?"

Flake: "Oh yes"

Coons: "I would think so"

1. Well, he lied about his drinking.

And since he got violent, he most likely lied about assaulting girls and women.

[RockRaven]

2. "IS SHOWN TO"

Which is WHY the investigation is being hamstrung. It won't FIND that because it won't ASK that, it won't LOOK for it.

3. Well, that's one hell of a low bar.

Seems to be the least of his sins, but i guess we'll just have to take what we get.

[MountCleaners]

4. He also lied about what was on the calendars

He said that weekday gatherings don't show the people Blasey Ford mentioned - not true!

He also said those people "refuted" her - not true!

There are so many lies it's not even funny.

5. He lied about the meaning of the words in the yearbook.

6. And all they have to do to prove it is spend a little time on urbandictionary.com. n/t

7. He has lied over and over about the drinking.

He says the legal drinking age was 18 and that Seniors could legally drink. It was 21. If he will lie about something that can be easily proven one way or the other, what else did he lie about?

I wish that the interviewer gave a list of known lies that Kavanaugh spun in the hearings and then ask Flake why he did not already find him unacceptable for a seat on the US SC?

8. As I understand it the drining age was 18 and then raised to 21 when he was 17

So, you need to be extremely careful in listening to what he said. He said something to the effect that Seniors were 18 and could buy alcohol (he was 17 and couldn't legally dring or buy, but he never specirially states that)

Also look at his comments regarding Dr. Christine Blassey Ford. He states he never assualted Dr. Ford. You see, he assualted Christine Blassey. He is scum of the fucking earth and he and his scum of the fucking earth buddies will laugh at how cute he was if he survives.

9. Agreed. He lies by diversion. He said most of the time he was in high school, drinking age was 18.

That is true, but it has nothing to do with if HE was legal to drink. He wasn't. He was still 17 when the age was raised. He wasn't legal most of the time he was in college either.

[KelleyKramer]

10. Well he lied more times than I can count...

So the nomination is over?

Yeah, right

If you believe Flake, I have a bridge I'll sell you

11. How many lies does it take to fill a basket of deplorables?

How many lies are sufficient to sink K? And what kind of lies? Everyone knows he lied about the little stuff: the drinking and the slang words in the yearbook. Does that count as "lies" to the Rs? I bet it doesn't.

[DesertRat]

12. Devil's Triangle

Legal to drink in high school. ETC.

[LibDemAlways]

13. Then the nomination's over. What didn't he lie about?
