You imagine incorrectly, I am referencing previous statements about his high school and college years:

" When I was in high school—and I went to an all boys’ Catholic high school, a Jesuit high school, where I was focused on academics and athletics, going to church every Sunday at Little Flower, working on my service projects, and friendship, friendship with my fellow classmates and friendship with girls from the local all girls’ Catholic schools."

"I was focused on trying to be number one in my class and being captain of the varsity basketball team and doing my service projects, going to church. The vast majority of the time I spent in high school was studying or focused on sports and being a good friend to the boys and the girls that I was friends with. "

If he'd said "sure I drank and I was a piece of shit high school boy, but I didn't assault anyone" then it would have much less of an issue believing him. There's still the issue of the 2004 lie to congress at another hearing, so the guy just seems to lie whenever he gets a chance at a promotion, so I guess I wouldn't put him on the supreme court regardless. We have enough issue with both sides picking political activists on their own side for judge positions, don't need a liar in there to boot.  

First, you're quoting an interview, not testimony.  Second, you stopped the transcript immediately before he said exactly what you wanted him to:

That’s totally false and outrageous. I’ve never done any such thing, known about any such thing. When I was in high school – and I went to an all boys Catholic high school, a judgment (ph) high school, where I was focused on academics and athletics, going to church every Sunday at Little Flower, working on my service projects, and friendship, friendship with my fellow classmates and friendship with girls from the local all girls Catholic schools.

And yes, there were parties. And the drinking age was 18, and yes, the seniors were legal and had beer there. And yes, people might have had too many beers on occasion and people generally in high school – I think all of us have probably done things we look back on in high school and regret or cringe a bit, but that’s not what we’re talking about.

So now that I've demonstrated that he said exactly what you said would cause you to be believe him more, do you have the decency to say that his testimony is more believable?

Do I have the decency? What an asshole thing to say. I don't recall including any personal attacks to you in my post. 

Anyways, he said the seniors were legal and had beer there. Far as I've read he wrong about the drinking age and in that quote he implies that he did not partake. Regardless, however, what I'd like to hear is something beyond this scripted "I had great respect for all my female friends". Just admit you were a dumb high school kid that wanted to be seen as cool so you claimed to do more things sexually than you actually had accomplished and bragged about it in an attempt to improve your social standing. Everyone was a dumb High School kid at some point, but this tired lying about all the things he regrets. Admitting you drank a bit helps, as he did in his testimony, but if you're going to keep pretending like you never were a little misogynist piece of shit (and regret it) then you're still lying to everyone.
