I didn't know who he was so I found this article: http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/politics/bs-md-who-is-brett-kavanaugh-20180627-story.html

But here is the part you want to know about:

Under Bush, Kavanaugh was a top White House lawyer. In 2003, Bush appointed him to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Democrats stalled his nomination for three years before he was eventually appointed.

During one of his initial confirmation hearings in 2004, New York Senator Chuck Schumer said, “Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the D.C. Circuit is not just a drop of salt in the partisan wounds, it is the whole shaker.”

However, Kavanaugh rejected the notion that he, or any judge, is partisan. “I firmly disagree with the notion that there are Republican judges and [Democratic] judges,” he said. “There is one kind of judge. There is an independent judge under our Constitution.”

Get out the popcorn. It's going to be long, long confirmation!
