I want that Kavanaugh calendar sent to a lab

[SHRED]

To determine its actual age.

[Snarkoleptic]

1. Imagine the hokey entries they're dummying up...

August 1st, 1982 "Did not try to rape anyone".

[NewJeffCT]

12. Not just that

he's attached a list of women that can vouch for him - 65 of them, in fact.

[clementine613]

2. I want him to present a 36 year long videotape

... to show that he hasn't tampered with it.

Anything less than that, then it's a fake.

[Roland99]

3. My first thought too! Test age of paper and ink!

[fierywoman]

9. Especially the ink.

[madaboutharry]

4. Experts can also determine the age of ink.

I think we need Carnac The Magnificent to divine for us all the things Kavanaugh did during the summers in High School that he didn't write down on a calendar.

5. FBI could probably do that but...

This is not really their "thing". Shame.

14. The Secret Service

is better equipped for inks and documents since their main function, counterfeiting, identity theft, and financial crimes.

6. This stupid argument is for the ignorant base. "Yeah, them prep school kids kept calendars, because

they're rich and all." I would also like it compared to exemplars of his handwriting from back then. He is unfit for the court for even making such a ridiculous argument.

7. I thought the calendar thing was a joke

I don't know too many people that mark wild drinking parties on calendars--particularly when in high school. Dances, sponsored events--okay, but not drinking parties.
So not having a wild party marked on a calendar means it didn't happen? Sure.
I certainly didn't record any of the ones I went to and there were lots. In fact, some parties we learned about while at other parties and just went to check them out. I grew up in a good neighborhood, too. Professional parents and wild kids.

13. Back in the day, some boys prided themselves in maintaining a mythical 'Little Black Book'

I always understood they were more a scorecard, with stats that could be traded, rather than a calendar. Perhaps, if Kavanaugh maintained one of these book, there's no entry because, well, to put it crudely, he didn't score....

[pandr32]

17. The calendar could have been to fake out his parents.

Mom, Dad, I can't possibly go with you that weekend because I have a prior engagement...see it's on the calendar!
He might have kept it as a trophy from his glory days.
Let's face it...the calendar doesn't prove anything.

[Squinch]

8. Who cares if it's real. Are we supposed to think he would have made an entry for

"tried to rape 15 year old at party tonight but was too drunk to get her clothes off"?

Does he think the absence of such an entry will convince us that none of it happened?

10. I graduated from HS in that time frame

I do not recall anyone keeping calendars.
I know people live and die by their Outlook calendars now....but back then, it simply wasn't a thing and especially not for a teenager.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

11. He's too smart to try to fake it. It's just not dispositive.

It's not like Kavanaugh is going to put in his calendar/diary that he met a girl at a party, took her to a room, pinned her down, tried to remove her clothes, and put his hand over mouth to prevent her from screaming for help.

[Turbineguy]

15. The FBI lab.

[Blue_true]

16. Exactly.

He has opened the door for an FBI investigation, at least of the calendar. Democrats should ask him to produce his calendars for 80-85 and point out that the years beside 82 should exist.
