What I don't understand about the Kavanaugh case is why he lied to such a degree. His attempts to paint himself as a choir boy in his younger years are so transparent. Does anyone really believe that he and all his friends called themselves "alumni" of some girl they knew as a way of showing their respect? It's amazing to me that he didn't go with "yes I was a shitty kid, but I didn't try to assault anyone" instead of "Alcohol sir? I was much too busy with my studies to party".

I'd take him out of contention just for being someone that's willing to lie with such regularity.

probably because in this polarised environment with how incapable of rational thought so many people are, admitting to being an average kid who drank and partied in his younger years would have seemed incriminating

I don't think that the polarized environment is a good enough reason to put a proven liar onto the highest court we have. Trump can find someone who isn't a proven liar. Though honestly given his own habit of lying he may not be able to tell the difference.
