In the last blog I quoted a description of a lie that Brett Kavanaugh told while under oath in his confirmation confrontation in the Senate. Here are some more, all of which were assembled by the Huffington Post:

It is unlikely that any of this will influence the Republican senators, since they are desparate to confirm Kavanaugh. Susan Collins is weighing the political consequences of her vote, but basically she prefers to vote with her party; I don't have a lot of hope that she will do the right thing simply because it is the right thing -- she doesn't want to get "primaried" by someone to her right. She foolishly believes (or claims to believe) that Kavanaugh will not vote to gut Roe v. Wade if he gets confirmed. I don't know enough about Lisa Murkowski (R. Alaska) to hazard a guess as to her eventual vote, but she is no fan of Trump's.

Kavanaugh is a perjuror
There is plenty of evidence that Brett Kavanaugh is a perjurer. Here is an example in Kavanaugh's own words (he had sworn under oath that he had never "blacked out" while drinking):
In a 2014 speech
at Yale, Kavanaugh recounted his fun partying days with a story about
“falling out of the bus onto the front steps of Yale Law School at about
4:45 a.m.” after attending a Red Sox game at Fenway Park. He then
admitted that he and a friend had to put together their memory of the
drunken night the next day.
“Indeed,
as a classmate of mine and I were reminiscing and piecing things
together the other day, we think we had more than a few beers before the
banquet,” Kavanaugh said.
Kavanaugh,
in an email to friends after a fun weekend vacation, apologized for
getting belligerent after losing games of dice and said he didn’t
remember it happening.
“Excellent
time,” reads Kavanaugh’s email dated Sept. 10, 2001. “Apologies to all
for missing Friday (good excuse), arriving late Saturday (weak excuse),
and growing aggressive after blowing still another game of dice (don’t recall). Reminders
to everyone to be very, very vigilant w/r/t confidentiality on all
issues and all fronts, including with spouses.” (Emphasis added.)
Note: "piecing together" is what drunks do to try to account for events that happened when they had, in fact, "blacked out."
