all that would be fine...no problems with his family background, education and judicial experience...other qualifications factor into an assessment of his fitness...let's remember that no one is entitled to sit on the bench of SCOTUS...that honor is reserved for the best and brightest, a judgement made by a majority of elected Senators...many nominees throughout history have been rejected with similar legal training and experience, for a variety of reasons...
Here are some reasons why I don't support him for SCOTUS, before Ford allegations:
his experience as a law clerk for a judge who helped him climb the ladder, a judge who resigned in disgrace under a cloud of sexual misconduct, a cloud Kavanaugh incredibly claims he didn't see, a claim that all the other clerks who worked for the judge at the same time says was very clear...
his failure to release thousands of work documents created during his time working for the Bush Administration, when a controversial war was waged, amidst controversy regarding the treatment of POW's, practices which were later ruled unconstitutional ...
his legal writings that afford absolute/unitary power to the office of the President and his claim the President is immune to criminal prosecution while in office ...which happens to be a belief shared by the very President who nominated him over the objections/advice of the Senate Majority leader...
his lack of candor, credibility and evasiveness during senate confirmation hearings about a host of issues, including abortion, stolen emails...
his performance during his confirmation hearings...deer in the headlights looks when tough questions were asked...unexplained and lengthy pauses followed by non-answers...inconsistent statements about previous positions about legal matters...all led me to think he is not qualified...
