The dark clouds hanging over Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination are growing increasingly menacing. His denial of attempted rape rings hollow given his conspirator, Mark Judge’s sensational book, Wasted: Tales of a GenX Drunk. The book describes being an alcoholic in high school and even features a cameo by someone he calls “Bart O’Kavanaugh” who vomited in someone’s car and passed out on his way back from a party. The attempted rape accuser, Dr. Blasey Ford, identified Kavanaugh’s friend as the conservative writer Mark Judge. 

The book adds a few more nails to Kavanaugh’s coffin. More and more negative reports are being made public.  

According to Ryan Grim of The Intercept, Cyrus Sanai was the whistleblower who first called out Judge Alex Kozinski, the chief judge of the 9th Circuit Court who was accused of years' gross sexual misconduct. He was finally removed through a combination of media reports and the #MeToo movement.  

Kavanaugh, who clerked for Judge Alex Kozinski, claimed that he had no knowledge of his indiscretions which doesn’t pass the smell test given their very close relationship. Several Federal employees have offered to testify before the Senate Judicial Committee stating that Kavanaugh is lying about his lack of knowledge of the judge’s behavior. His lack of truthfulness is now central to the accusation of attempted rape by Dr. Blasey Ford. The Democrats must stand firm and resist the Republican’s efforts to ram through Kavanaugh’s nomination. We don’t want another sexual predator on SCOTUS.
