Unverified---thanks for that, and I meant no offense. I should have cleared that up as the distinction did come to me a couple of hours after I wrote this.

When I started the piece I had no idea of any name, then came the "St.", followed by a blank, then came "Anthony", etc. I remember it looking like a frat house, I was sprawled on a couch, or in the least an overstuffed chair----probably borrowed from the Deke House----apologies for the association.

Note: An "alcohol blackout", I learned last night , is an AMA term, the condition of a period of time passing (one is not in fact "passed out", or "asleep"---as Kav suggested---) you simply can't remember. During this phase, which is a blank, one could have walked (I got myself behind the pharmacy counter) driven a car, or even had sex, or not----now I remember, my date asked me to stop my Chevy in front of a gas station on Whitney Ave. so she could go to the bathroom and I never saw her again.

Edit to add: Someone should clean up the Wikipedia page on St. A's.

Just came out that Kavanaugh was active in trying to orchestrate a defense of the Ramirez story before it came out. Yet during the hearing in relation to a question of when he first heard of the Ramirez story was "when it came out. Oh, choir boy was orchestrating some songs for witnesses.

I don't have much hope but I have a little.
White House Counsel Don can shrink the scope of allegations but cannot exclude the penumbra of corroboration and contradiction that surrounds them. So, in this case, add another grain of rice on the Ramirez side of the scale.

Thanks, Moat. I'm doing a slow burn thinking that the FBI investigation is going to be a dud, despite information from key witnesses like Ludington.

In reply to Memories of my Yale blackout.

On the booze front, Yale classmate, Charles Ludington tells FBI that Kavanaugh was a "belligerent and aggressive" drunk.

The article also points out:

Nothing prevents the FBI from talking to witnesses who come forward, such as Ludington. But it's not clear what, if anything, the FBI can do with the information he provides, given that Kavanaugh's drinking at Yale is not an issue the White House has authorized the FBI to investigate.

Meanwhile, Trump denies there are any restrictions and that it is all up to the Senate committee which is not true.
Bartender, shots all around.

It seems that the investigation can create tangents, but time is already short.

rmrd, thanks for the comment.

rmrd, thanks for the comment. Whether any of this will soften up the other side is questionable. But the kind of partisan he is was made very clear. Actually I was surprised he was that biased.

Kat, at first I was angry with Senators for not calling out this dual personality, but in the end I think he did a lot of damage to himself.

Apart from the drinking, there is the issue of Kavanaugh going on a rant about Democrats and the Clintons while he was sober. He cannot be an unbiased jurist.
