This woman on MSNBC last night was talking about her background check to be a Federal Judge. She was asked about everyone she's ever lived with going all the way back, and every illegal drug she's ever used. She said that there was a sense from the questions they were asking that the probe contained disqualifying questions, and that the scope did include all history of indiscriminate behavior.
Kavanaugh clearly knew he drank too much in high school. He knew the reputation he carried among his friends. I'm sure he was aware of the book written by Mark Judge, and he had to know that it was "out there" that he had conducted himself like an out-of-control, wild young man. If he chose not to disclose that information during the background check, then not only did he lie by stating that these things didn't happen, but he also opened himself up for scrutiny. Make no mistake about that.
