SUPREME COURT: JUSTICE SCALIA DEATH AND SCOTUS CHANGES
(continued)

The book chronicled Judge's struggles with alcoholism while a teenager, painting his days at Georgetown Prep as filled with parties and black-out drunk nights, chasing girls from the nearby all-girls prep school (like the one attended by Ford), and depicts the school staff in a less than pristine light (teachers and their students being entertained by strippers, etc).

Judge distorted names in the book. He recounts one night of hard partying wherein his friend "Bart O'Kavanaugh" was so wasted that he "puked in someone's car the other night."

If the hearing actually does go down on Monday, I fully expect some senators to inquire as to how Judge's response to Ford's allegation can be deemed credible considering the principles Judge claims he learned at the school (according to his own memoir) are not, in fact, inconsistent with Ford's account.

In addition, since he was black-out wasted during so much of his high school years, why would anyone trust his recollection (or lack thereof) over Ford's?
