Kavanaugh has already been tested as he served for 12 years on the Appeals Court, and the fact that none of his detractors were able to find anything wrong in his judgement or "judicial temperament" on the Appeals Court shows he passed the test with flying colors even in the judgement of who oppose him now. It is the Democrats who failed their test by showing utter disregard for the truth or the law or common decency.
A court of appeals is itself an inferior court and it's rulings can be overruled by the Supreme Court.
Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch and now Kavanaugh are ideologues, who will dominate the Court with their Corporatism leanings and fear of democracy.
You small 'c' conservatives will suffer, as you will when the reality of the recent tax fraud hits you in your pocket book. That was only the first step, by the right wing power elitists to enrich themselves at the expense of the middle classes and the working poor.
Kavanaugh will be tested this coming week:
"Justice Department lawyers argue the depositions of Ross and Gore ordered by a federal judge in New York City constitute an unwarranted intrusion into executive authority and could prove distracting to senior officials with important duties.
"It’s the kind of argument that could appeal to Kavanaugh, who has advocated broad interpretations of executive power. However, deferring to the Trump administration within days of joining the court could appear to confirm many of Kavanaugh’s critics’ claims that he’s likely to be a rubber stamp for Trump and his agenda.
"“It certainly seems likely that, if the Court is divided 4-4 as to whether to grant a stay, Justice Kavanaugh is going to have to participate in resolving the Ross dispute,” University of Texas law professor Stephen Vladeck said."
