Kavanaugh's college roommate: He was lying

James Roche, the college roommate of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, speaks to CNN's Anderson Cooper about his experience with Kavanaugh at Yale.

Supreme Court justices can be impeached. We know Kavanaugh lied about Roe v Wade being settled precedent as well. So we know Kavanaugh lies at least twice, so what are the odds he was lying about Blaise Ford as well? I’d say there’s an excellent chance he lied there too.

Same here. He's a terrible liar, and I'm thinking he probably lies more often than the average person, and he probably gets caught out on it from time to time, but not much happens about it from his POV. That's just speculation on my part. But that snivelling diatribe was a bridge too far. I could hardly believe he was doing that. And they made a Supreme Court Justice out of him. I guess it was clear they would be doing that, but fGs.. At one point I thought I saw a look of embarrassment on his wife's face for a couple of seconds before it seemed she'd gotten a grip and remembered what side her bread was about to be buttered on, then she switched to empathetic. She may be slightly better at acting than him but I don't think that says much very about it.

They did that to & for Christine Blasey Ford regardless of who she was speaking out against. You are, it seems rather likely, defending Brett Cavanaugh on here not to defend Brett Cavanaugh; you are doing it to defend the legacy of the worst POTUS that this country has ever had in, at least, modern American history. You are a thoughtless drone being told what to think & say. The former `Circus Freak in-Chief `, who is `joe citizen circus freak`, Donald Trump, is, correct me if I am wrong, the only twice impeached President in American history - that's his legacy. Downplaying the Pandemic, downplaying the importance of PPE & social distancing, resulting in 350,000 dead from Covid-19, during his time as POTUS, resulting in even greater number of deaths, long after he left office, because of his policies & rhetoric - that's his legacy!

He actually did a good job interviewing - asking continuous probing questions but not to the point of being obnoxious and let the guy answer the questions rather than cutting him off and interjecting his own thoughts, like you see so often nowadays. Nothing really earthshaking here, but clear and strong confirmation of Kavanaugh lying while giving sworn testimony. And THAT'S disqualifying as a Supreme Court nominee in my view. (He lies under oath, yet listens to arguments and witnesses that swear under oath to tell the truth. Does anyone else see the irony, and the problem here?? What - so does he just totally disregard the presumption of truthful testimony and just base his judicial conclusions on whatever he wants to believe are the facts??)

Unfortunately in the committee, Mitch and his cronies know how to play hardball; rules be damned. The Democrats, damn them, still think they should play by the rules that used to be enforced and obeyed. They have to show the GOP and the rest of America that they can play just as rough.
