Is Kavanaugh that much more conservative than Kennedy?? A lot of conservative individuals wanted Kethledge on the Supreme Court over Kavanaugh instead.
On the second amendment? Yes. This from him in a previous case should shed some light on how he would view an assault weapons ban.
from https://reason.com/2018/07/09/judge-kavanaugh-and-the-second-amendment
in its 1994 decision in Staples , the Supreme Court already stated that semi-automatic weapons “traditionally have been widely accepted as lawful possessions.” 511 U.S. at 612. Indeed, the precise weapon at issue in Staples was the AR-15. The AR-15 is the quintessential semi-automatic rifle that D.C. seeks to ban here. Yet as the Supreme Court noted in Staples , the AR-15 is in common use by law-abiding citizens and has traditionally been lawful to possess.

To be determined Chris. I wanted Kethledge because he’s not Ivy League and he’s not DC District.
The SCOTUS represents DC, not the country. There’s nothing special about Harvard.
