I don't care how drunk Kavanaugh got in high school and college. [View all]

I don't care even if he had worn strange costumes and run around naked and cried, puking, in his dorm room. I do not care if he drinks/smokes today for recreation on his own time.

I DO care about his reported abuse of other people, and more importantly, I care about this:

A detailed analysis of Kavanaugh's own notes from the Starr Investigation reveals he was cherry-picking random bits of information from the Starr investigation — as well as the multiple previous investigations — attempting vainly to legitimize wild right-wing conspiracies. For years he chased down each one of them without regard to the emotional cost to Foster’s family and friends, or even common decency

Please read it if you haven't already. This man was groomed to be a political tool.
