I haven't done a lot of research into the particulars of his life and work. What I know, I know third hand.
But I once did a fair amount of research into the history and politics of SCOTUS confirmations in general, and on that basis I have an opinion.
But I do hope that a majority can be found to vote against his confirmation to SCOTUS.
Why? Well, largely because intriguing things happen when a Republican POTUS gets rejected twice running in an effort to fill a SCOTUS spot. So I hope Kavanaugh is rejected, then whoever else is nominated is also rejected, then ... we'll see who number three is.
Intriguing things happen in that circumstance. Nixon tried Haynesworth. Didn't get confirmed. Tried Carswell, didn't get confirmed. Third try ... Harry Blackmun. Reagan tried Robert Bork. No confirmation, Then tried Doug Ginsburg, No confirmation, Third try ... Anthony Kennedy. Hey, Dems, the goal isn't to imitate the obstructionism you (rightly) criticized in 2016. The goal is to defeat the first two, force Trump to a third!
