What do you think of him? Definitively a social conservative.

He is much more than a social conservative.
Remember, Roberts, Alito, Thomas and Gorsuch (raised catholic) are catholic. Adding Kavanaugh will give the catholics a 5-4 majority. He must not be seated - but, then we'll just get another Gorsuch or some other 'such in his place.
Best path is to hold off a nomination fight until after the mid-terms and hopefully the Dems will wrest back control of the Senate. A SCOTUS split 4-4 is better than a SCOTUS tilted 5-4 to the right.
- He believes a sitting President should not be prosecuted, or questioned while sitting as a President.
- He believes a President has the right to ignore laws the President does not want to prosecute.
- He believes a President can fire, without cause, a special prosecutor.
- He gleefully states he is a staunch catholic.
- Not only is Roe on the line but so is Griswold (the right to privacy and the right to contraceptives)

"Disobedience in the eyes of any one who has read history is man's original virtue. "—Oscar Wilde.
If you don't want a man unhappy politically, don't give him two sides to a question to worry him; give him one. Better yet, give him none. Let him forget there is such a thing as war. If the Government is inefficient, top-heavy, and tax-mad, better it is all those than that people worry over it. Peace, Montag.

Easier said that done; we can only hope that he has a skelton or two in his closet. Trump is coated with Teflon; on the other hand, a SCOTUS judge is supposed to be ethical to his core, Justice Thomas being an exception to that, though.
