        My calendar has no record of me pooping and crying in 1982. I was 1.

        This is one Hail Mary of a defense strategy. If my client gave me something like that as evidence of his innocence, I’d politely explain that sometimes saying nothing is better than saying something implausible and losing all credibility.

        So, it's clear that his career progressed through cronyism, not talent?

        As an appellate judge, he is actively deciding the types of evidence that are legally sufficient to prove or disprove material facts at issue broadly in all cases in the D.C. Circuit. This calendar buffoonery goes to his judgment.

        But it’s very odd that he still has those calendars. Creepy + Proves NADA.

        Nor "did I list all the parties I attended where I was consuming alcohol whilst underage" seem very plausible.

        He must have a big house to store strange mementos like this. I wonder what other crap he kept. Trophies from his conquests?

        How about taking a lie detector test and letting the FBI interview some people...?

        Lie detector tests are inadmissable, and for good reason: They suck.

        Perhaps getting blind drunk and harassing, sexually assaulting and attempting rape was such a common activity that it didn't require being marked on the calendar. Same old, same old. #NeverKavanaugh

        So Kavavnaugh has a Calendar from Summer 35 years ago. He should be asked to produce the Calendar for the Summer 34 years ago and the one 36 years ago. What are the chances he will find those also.?
