Laurence Tribe: Kavanaugh "more Mr. Hyde than Dr. Jekyll, at least when sloshed."

He's commenting on the scathing description of Kavanaugh in the statement from his Yale roommate.







This paints a vastly different picture of Brett Kavanaugh as a Yale freshman than the Eagle Scout picture the judge conveyed on FOX. More Mr. Hyde than Dr. Jekyll, at least when sloshed.

Alcohol only can let what is already there out. If you're not a rapist, you don't become one when drunk.

But if you are suppressing rape urges, drinking makes it a lot harder to suppress such anti-social proclivities.

I have been drunk many times in my life, but not once have I done anything remotely like what he is accused of. He's a bully, pure and simple, and became aggressive towards multiple women. Of that I have little doubt.

Dr. Jimmy and Mr. Jim, when I'm pilled you don't notice him. He only comes out when I drink my gin.

She was in my sorority. I was glad she didn't go too easy on him.
