Kavanaugh's lie is no longer a minor thing.

A 17 year old who is drinking beer illegally knows he’s drinking beer illegally. He didn’t mistaking my think he was 18 and thus able to drink legally. Then, BEFORE he turned 18 the legal drinking age was RAISED to 21.

Kavanaugh wasn’t mistaken when he said he was legally drinking at 18 because he was NEVER able to drink legally during the period at issue.

If he is incapable of telling the truth now about an otherwise minor wrong as a minor, why would anyone expect him to be honest about a sexual assault?

Any questions to Kavanaugh about his perjury?

You might guess from my signature line that I'm on the cynical side of the table, so my presumption is that Republicans will confirm Kavanaugh regardless of what comes out of the hearing.

I was too angry to listen to all of the hearing, but I'm curious as to whether anyone asked Kavanaugh about his perjury?

Thanks!

re Kavanaugh: Don't forget the perjury!

If the discussion becomes solely about the attempted rape allegation, the issue for confirmation, as with Clarence Thomas, could boil down to whether there is irrefutable proof of his guilt or innocence - a damned near impossible hurdle. The issue of Kavanaugh's PERJURY should not now be given short shrift when the reality is that his perjury alone should disqualify him from ANY court.

Huckabee talks using the Logan Act against John Kerry!

Will someone remind these unabashed hypocrites that Reagan was caught asking Iran not to release the American hostages so Reagan could use the issue in his campaign for the White House, and Nixon was caught asking North Vietnam to abandon peace talks with the US and South Vietnam so Nixon could use the war issue in his campaign for the White House. Neither was charged with a Logan Act violation and BOTH were rewarded with the presidency. Republicans have a lot of f*cking nerve even suggesting that John Kerry should be prosecuted under the Logan Act for meeting with a FORMER Iranian minister.

FYI: The Logan Act (1 Stat. 613, 18 U.S.C. § 953, enacted January 30, 1799) is a United States federal law that criminalizes negotiation by unauthorized persons with foreign governments having a dispute with the United States.
