1. Didn't he also...

… lie under oath? … not a very good role model for a SC Justice...

9. He lied about boofing.

2. YES. Call their offices and tell them.

Congress members listen to phone calls a lot more than they listen to twitter

3. impeach Beery Brett

10. The Repugnants wont convict him in the Senate though and they control it.

Hell, evidence could emerge showing him involved with a major child prostitution ring and they would still not convict him in the Senate.

12. depends on whether he'd share the profits with them

In saner times, I'd be chastised for unreasonable cynicism for that remark.

4. you know it's possible to report someone to IRS

anonymously, too.

But I would expect that the IRS audits anyone who appears to be living beyond visible means. At least that's the way it used to be!

[SleeplessinSoCal]

7. Is he blackmailable?

[Delmette2.0]

8. Monitor all McConnell's judges!!!!!

11. I'm not sure his tax returns would have the answer.

I think it's likely someone else -- probably his rich father -- simply gifted him the money. And gift tax returns are filed by the donor, not the receiver.

By the nation’s standards, Kavanaugh is decidedly wealthy, with an annual salary of $220,000 that reaches far beyond the median income for a typical U.S. household. He also has resources that other families may not — familial wealth and the option, if needed, to forgo his government job and return to private practice. Kavanaugh’s father drew a hefty salary working for a cosmetics trade group and received a $13 million payout in 2005, as first reported by the New York Times.

13. I think they should reopen the investigation into the sexual assault allegations.

The first investigation was a sham. People came forward who weren't allowed to give their testimony because of the rush by McConnell to get him confirmed.

14. His family income has been about $275,000 per year

He said he charged sports tickets on his credit cards and then the others reimbursed him. Maybe a group of six or eight? Home mortgage might be $8000 per month. They might get annual gifts from parents. Quite a few well off parents give kids the annual gift tax exclusion amount of $14,000 or so per child. Some give 14,000 to child plus 14,000 to child’s spouse, the amount exempt from gift tax. I doubt there is corruption here.
