For my most recent conclusions, arrived at as usual when riding on my lawn mower for the last hour while mowing the lawn, it would seem that the root of the problem is that Kavanaugh was, (and probably still is) an alcoholic.
My only knowledge of this from the "background check" point of view, is that in the heyday of McCarthy and Otto Otepka, (who was head of security background checks for the State Department) alcoholism was a deal-breaker from the perspective of security assessment, along with being gay (in the 1950's and 1960's), not to mention being a Socialist, etc.
From his testimony, Kavanaugh protested WAY too much about the virtues of beer. From his statements, you would conclude that beer was his middle name! He couldn't estimate how many beers was too many without referring to a blood alcohol test or chart!
Give me a break. In the case of Kavanaugh, his alcoholism apparently led to sexual aggression.
What was not explored was the fact that underage drinking is itself a crime which meant that he was breaking the law nearly every day or week of his high school career. He should have been asked "when did the teen-age law breaker decide to start following the law as opposed to breaking it?" Back in the sixties, police raids on underage drinkers, especially in public, were a regular occurrence on campus. How did he avoid the cops if he was openly and notoriously a teen-age drunkard?
Also, IMHO his parents were wasting their money BIG TIME if they were sending him to this religious private school to refine his character. Amazingly, I heard on one news show that Justice Neil Gorsuch attended the same high school as Kavanaugh. It seems like, at Yale, the Skull and Bones set were A SCHOOL FOR SCANDAL! to borrow from the title of the famous play.
