Thanks, that provides some reassurance, but the rankings are based solely on the interpretations of "political scientists Lee Epstein, Andrew D. Martin, and Kevin Quinn". I don't know whether or not I would share their interpretation of "conservatism".

My trepidation is based on many of his own comments about (paraphrasing) "growing as a judge and learning in the role" which seems to always presage a shift to the left. His praise of Kagan and Kennedy and his bragging about having a majority of female staffers also gives pause.

We'll know if my concerns are unfounded in a year or two I guess.

How real is Axiox’s chart though? They are a left wing outfit who may very well be trying gum up the works for Kavanaugh by making him appear as a right wing extremist.
