James Roche, Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s freshman roommate at Yale, remembers Kavanaugh as a “notably heavy drinker,” even for college, who got “belligerent” and “aggressive” when drunk.
He also remembers Deborah Ramirez, another Yale classmate who accused Kavanaugh of exposing himself to her at a college party, as an “honest” and “trusting” person who could have been targeted by groups like Kavanaugh’s due to her insecurities about her relatively “less privileged background.”
That being said, Roche said that he did not witness the specific alleged episode Ramirez remembers.
Read Roche’s statement below:
So I’m beginning to wonder what the evidence is about effects of heavy alcohol consumption on brain development. It’s known that the brains of teenagers haven’t fully completed making certain sets of connections, especially those associated with more sophisticate judgments and foresight.
It’s why he’s a rethuglican.
Apparently the only hard drinker who never blacked out and regretted behavior… must be nice.

Valid point!!
Does Kavanaugh understand that even if he is confirmed, when/if the Democrats get control of the House they will have unfettered discretion to make his life a hell if they so choose?
All the hidden documents will be theirs.
Any witnesses the GOP did not call they can call?
He should be happy he has a seat on the DC Circuit and slink away VERY slowly.
