I am guessing the left is having a real hard time with this guy and are trying to torpedo him by getting behind him. It seems to be working. I haven’t gone through every opinion he has written - which a fair opponent or proponent would have to do.

But, from all appearances this guy is very very solid. Unfortunately for Ann Coulter, I think on the hot vs crazy chart she has jumped off the scale, crazy.

Agreed on Coulter and crazy at times, but Kavanaugh did write some amazingly good arguments in the following. Kavanaugh was simply outnumbered in that court. It’s highly doubtful that Kethledge or Hardiman could have done better.

Heller v. D.C. (re. Kavanaugh’s arguments against the assault weapons ban)

Kethledge, Hardiman and Kavanaugh all have good records, but Kavanaugh has the most extensive good record. As for the conspiracy theories promoted by some, I have analyzed them and still don’t subscribe to them. They’re riddled with glaring fallacies and obvious subjectivity.

There’s probably no more that Kavanaugh could have done outside of a Supreme Court with a majority of reasonable and objective justices.

[Excerpt:]
“KAVANAUGH, Circuit Judge, dissenting:...In my view, Heller and McDonald leave little doubt that courts are to assess gun bans and regulations based on text, history, and tradition, not by a balancing test such as strict or intermediate scrutiny.”

Unfortunately for Ann Coulter, I think age has not helped her on either of those two things.
