You can no longer expect passive acceptance of a judge based on resume. You created this problem, now live with it.
Actually, the Democrats started it with Bork.
Bork was a Neanderthal.

Nominees have been rejected several times since the beginning of the nation. George Washington's recess appointment of John Rutledge as Chief Justice was rejected in 1795. Nixon had 2 nominees rejected in 1969 and 1970. Please read more history to get a better perspective.
There's a reason that the name Bork is used when attacking someone through organized vilification. He was treated terribly.

Well that didn't take long.
He is highly qualified. In the old days he will be confirmed 95 - 0. Even John McCain likes him. Graduated Yale law school, 12 years on the DC circuit, hired by liberal Kagan to teach at Harvard Law ... What more do you want?
It took three years to get him on the DC Court of Appeals back in the Bush administration because of serious concerns about his judicial temperament so, no, and he didn’t even get 60 votes when he was eventually comfirmed. Those pesky facts, always denying conservatives the fairy tales they try to spread.
You know it had to do with his age and whether he was old enough to possess judicial temperament. I am Jeb educated and continue to share with Kavanaugh the Jesuit motto of "Men for others." I am a lefty but I respect Kavanaugh's values.
