Well, this interesting. While we have been treated to innumerable lectures about how Brett Kavanaugh’s youthful beer drinking makes him unsuited for a seat on the Supreme Court, it turns out that some of Court’s Lefties like a tipple as well.
The Washington Post reported on it too: “At Stanford, he had his share high jinx, getting arrested at one point for underage drinking.” Oh dear no, not that! At least there are no credible accusations of him throwing ice.
And then, of course, there is Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who fell asleep during President Obama’s State of the Union in 2015. She’s known to her admirers as “The Incredible RBG”, incredible perhaps for her ability to drink? Maybe she’s SCOTUS champion of The Devil’s Triangle.
Justice Ginsburg told CNN that she “was not 100% sober” for the speech. One can hardly blamer her, of course, but, well, she’s not in college. The Kavanaugh Smear Committee is intent on indicting the man’s character for his youthful beer drinking and insisting it is disqualifying. Everyone knows they don’t believe it, they’re just adhering to the “any weapon at hand” ethic that defines Left Wing political warfare. But shouldn’t their friends on the Court be held to the same standard? In fact, shouldn’t they at least be expected to be sober on the job?
