Brett Kavanaugh’s high school calendar!
https://www.cnn.com/2018/09/26/politics/brett-kavanaugh-1982-calendar/index.html
Ha, it really exists!
Crazy that we are determining whether a 53-year-old man is qualified to be a Supreme Court Justice based on what he wrote in a calendar when he was a teenager.
Amazing that he was still hanging onto it. But still, a cool reminder of technologically simpler times when kids wrote stuff on paper calendars.
Would we have to kick Ruth Bader Ginsburg off the Court if we examined her teenage diary?
* * *
At least Kavanaugh has provided some contemporaneous physical evidence. Where is Ford’s evidence???
* * *
People will probably want to know why he was grounded several times. Should he be denied confirmation to the Supreme Court because of those previous High Crimes and Misdemeanors? Can we allow someone who was grounded by his parents when he was 17 to decide the most important issues facing the nation today?
Who is Nikki? Who is Suzanne? He had a lot of girl friends for a virgin.

LOL. My father (85) still works for Northwestern Mutual Life as a salesman and sends me one of those calendars every year.
Liberals: What kind of teen nerd keeps track of his social engagements on a calendar?
Also liberals: That calendar is dispositive of nothing!

The kind who are organized enough to get admitted to Yale undergrad and later Yale Law.

…and thought he had a bright future ahead of him. Why not memorialize how he got there.

Total poindexter. Reminds me of my father who was valedictorian of his college class.
My father would have never been invited to the parties this Ford girl went to.
Wouldn’t have accepted the invitation if he was invited.
Would have had no idea what to do at such a party.
If he accidently wandered into the party, he would have voluntarily left long before anyone could have thrown him out for bringing down the mood.
Well, I take the first one back. Once during a conversation, the topic of Woodstock came up. Apparently someone randomly handed my father tickets for Woodstock back in 1969. He threw them out. Throwing out tickets to Woodstock was a decision he never regretted.

The guy is a lier and a moron. One of the first things an attorney instructs a client is not to volunteer any information when interrogated. Nobody asked him if he had intercourse in high school. This moron brought this disaster upon himself. What a lousy candidate for the Supreme Court. But it gets worse – the moron produces a personal diary and opens himself to more scrutiny and ridicule. You just can’t fix stupid, I’m telling you this as a jailhouse lawyer. This guy is a moron and should be canned.

He’s not concerned about a criminal trial, he’s trying to win a trial of public opinion so that he can get confirmed to the most prestigious position in law that a law nerd like Kavanaugh could ever dream of.

He’s not ashamed of being a poindexter any more than you’re ashamed of being working class.

It’s not about being ashamed, it’s about having common sense. He has nothing to gain talking about his sex life and he is demeaning the office by doing so. This guy is a moron.

Lots of good common sense Yakov. It’s a pitty that schools don’t recruit on a variety of intelligence test (not only Sat, LSAT and Gpa who all correlate with g but aren’t enough to truly select at 99% where they should. In the USA, it would give 40 000 pupils each year to choose from for elite schools).
And on top of that, being wise is not exactly being intelligent . And society need wuse judges ….
I hope he ll succeed though. Because he would end as good as Thomas who is the best scotus judge after Rehnquist.

SAT and LSAT are really as good tests of “g” that we are going to get. Plus they are may have a minor factor of reading ability that’s independent of “g” but is important for doing well in college as well as any jobs that require reading and writing.
GPA is strongly influenced by how hard students work as well as “g” and reading ability.
And also, there’s a math ability that’s independent of “g” which is also important for some college courses so it also makes sense that the SAT tests math.

Also, a calendar is not a thorough diary of your day to day activities. “Went bowling with Todd” is useless because it omits 95% of what you did that day besides bowling. I was 15 in the summer ’82, and I partied at plenty of friends’ homes even though it wasn’t planned on a calendar. Things happens spontaneously when you’re young and dumb.

Well of course it’s true that the calendar can’t prove that he didn’t do something that wasn’t on the calendar, especially given that Ford won’t even say what date it happened. If only there was a date, then he could say “look, I was out of town on that day!”

Then why submit it if it’s not exculpatory? Don’t get me wrong: I think Ford is a partisan liar, but Dems can easily dismiss this calendar stuff as a stunt.
Brendan

Because he is obviously stupid!

Well, this is pretty comical. It’s like next someone will accuse him of copying off her paper in 1st grade, and he’ll start submitting all his 1st grade homework as evidence, complete with doodles, spelling mistakes, backward letters, and a fossilized wad of chewing gum.
Really. This just heightens the sense of farce. It’s like an old article from The Onion come to life.

I don’t think he should give out his calendar. Now the lying Ford can pick a date that is blank and he wasn’t out of town. There is no reason for him to give the calendar because she hasn’t stated a date. The Republicans need to stop this mockery of process and call the vote. This is just ridiculous.

Only a matter of time before some homo comes forward to say Kavanaugh sucked him off at a kegger in ’83.

Poor reasoning. Easy for a slow-starting hugh school guy to have girlfriends were are similarly slow-starting. It’s just another club. Now, if the girls were named Cheryl, Jill and Lisa, I’d agree with you. Cheryls are fast.

By the way, some people say, “Forget Brett Kavanaugh.” Some people said, “remember the other Brett, Brett Erin Schwanbeck, the Las Vegas hero.” Brett is the victim of the worst and deadliest mass shooting in the history of North America. Someday, they should have a T-shirt with Brett Schwanbeck’s name on it and it has a Swan and a Pomeranian dog due to his first part of his name, Schwan means Swan while Schwanbeck came from Pomerania, Germany. Well done, Brett (Schwanbeck). Rest in peace.

Seems like he was pretty good friends with and hung around a lot with that Mark Judge guy, who apparently wrote a book about how wild he was in high school. The plot thickens.
