> In a case involving a notorious Washington house party with a mystery hostess, Kavanaugh was in the minority in finding police officers acted legally and reasonably when they arrested 21 people for trespassing. On appeal in January, Kavanaugh’s position was adopted by a unanimous Supreme Court.
My ears are completely perked up at this. Somewhere in the Swamp, there's a "mystery hostess" and 21 other people who are still very pissed off that this happened to them.
Who's that lady, "Peaches"? Who were those other people? And how the hell did a case involving a "party" end up before the Supreme Court of the United States of America?
The mystery hostess, "Peaches", is one Veronica Little. Pic related.
Who doesn't love a good sleazy story? So I dug a little & found: https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/public-safety/peaches-was-a-mystery-in-a-supreme-court-case-but-here-is-who-she-was/2017/10/04/9d58808c-a93d-11e7-92d1-58c702d2d975_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.cdc0a385caae
"After publicity about the case this week, acquaintances recognized the nickname and friends agreed to talk about the real Peaches — Veronica Little, a bartender and entrepreneur who died a year ago in September.

Little was for years a popular presence at the Skylark Lounge, serving strong drinks at the now-shuttered gentleman's club in Northeast Washington.
Little had a rapport with the male clients and the dancers, whom she recruited to perform at bachelor parties and birthday parties Little organized.
"She had the bubbliest spirit. Everybody loved Peaches," said her friend Susan White, who danced at dozens of parties Little booked as "Suzy Q."
"She would say, 'Hey, a couple guys need some girls for a party," recalled White, now a substance abuse counselor in Maryland. "We didn't have 'dot com' back then, so it was all word of mouth. We trusted her judgment."
"Little had just turned 50 before her death last fall.
She'd had asthma and was having trouble breathing, White said, before she died of respiratory problems. She is survived by her husband and a son, White said.
Why the nickname Peaches? Because, her friend said, she was from Georgia."
