Well I would have answered yes to all those questions about drinking, and I'm pretty sure 90% of people who have ever drunk would say yes to at least one of them.Comment

Berba, on legal drinking ages in the US (i.e., why I was last carded in New York at age 13)
Shortly after the ratification of the 21st amendment in December 1933, most states set their purchase ages at 21 since that was the voting age at the time. Most of these limits remained constant until the early 1970s. From 1969 to 1976, some 30 states lowered their purchase ages, generally to 18. This was primarily because the voting age was lowered from 21 to 18 in 1971 with the 26th amendment. Many states started to lower their minimum drinking age in response, most of this occurring in 1972 or 1973. Twelve states kept their purchase ages at 21 since repeal of Prohibition and never changed them.
From 1976 to 1983, several states voluntarily raised their purchase ages to 19 (or, less commonly, 20 or 21), in part to combat drunk driving fatalities. In 1984, Congress passed the National Minimum Drinking Age Act, which required states to raise their ages for purchase and public possession to 21 by October 1986 or lose 10% of their federal highway funds. By mid-1988, all 50 states and the District of Columbia had raised their purchase ages to 21.Comment

Kavanagh now not answering Leahy's question, and losing his temper with him.Comment
-
Looks like Kavanagh isn't behaving any different. Accused Leahy of "making fun of an addict".Comment
-
Grassley props up Kavanagh by suggesting Leahy was being unfair to him.Comment
-
I wonder if Justice Thomas gave him permission to use his catch phrase of "lynching".
I'm guessing not, as he would have brought it out already.Comment

I fear that this is going to be enough for belligerent Republican Senate Bros to confirm him. They're going to be happy that the libtards of the metoo movement are getting some push back. It's going to really fuck his position on the supreme court, though, the way Kavanaugh has presented everything as being partisan and political because of his previous work with Bush and against Clinton. That means that it will be trivial to spin every decision of his as partisan rather than just conservative. And that is going to screw with the ersatz non-partisanship of Roberts and Alito and Gorsuch.Comment
