The following is the closing of a blog post by Lex Alexander in which he detailed all the reasons Brett Kavanaugh should not be judging anything or anyone, let alone cases brought before the highest court in the land:
So his nomination, which by all rights should be dead, shuffles foward until the day, not long from now, when he can begin eating the brains of a lot of stuff that makes America such a wonderful country.

And so, because Republicans hold majorities
on the Senate Judiciary Committee and in the full body, Kavanaugh
probably will be confirmed before the leaves even start changing. But if
the Democrats retake at least one house of Congress in November,
Kavanaugh could be facing impeachment before midwinter. He probably
wouldn’t be convicted – Republicans would need only 34 Senate votes to
keep him in office, but he’d be permanently tarred. And that, in this
era of diminished expectations, might be the best we can hope for.
So, to sum up: Not only has Kavanaugh lied
under oath to the Senate at least five times, not only does his own
email suggest he has a gambling problem, but Sen. Patrick Leahy also
caught him lying about his involvement in the Republican effort to
benefit from Russian interference in the 2016 election – the very
investigation of which will come before him if he’s confirmed to the
Supreme Court and which might well come before him on the D.C. Circuit
even if he isn’t. This nomination is fatally flawed and should be
pulled. If it isn’t, Sens. Richard Burr and Thom Tillis should vote
against it. But it won’t be, and they won’t, because the GOP is nothing
anymore but a continuing criminal enterprise.
