From the beginning, the Democrats should have gone after his record as a judge. One of the few who proved to portray competence was Senator Kamala Harris. Harris and Kavanaugh's interaction was extremely awkward.

Sen. Harris asked Judge Kavanaugh if he had ever discussed the Mueller Investigation with anyone at the Kasowitz Benson Torres law firm, and Kavanaugh tried to lie without lying:

The Democrats could have went after Brett Kavanaugh for his past rulings, and how they impacted labor or the environment.

In 2010, a Sea World Trainer was killed by a whale. Sea World was fined, and Sea World appealed to the Court of Appeals. The court voted 2-1 against Sea World. Circuit Judge Judith Rogers and Chief Judge Merrick Garland were the two to vote for upholding the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OHSA). The judge who voted in favor of Sea World was Brett Kavanaugh.

Former OHSA assistant secretary, David Michaels, on Kavanaugh's decision:

In his dissent in the Sea World decision, Judge Kavanaugh made the perverse and erroneous assertion that the law allows Sea World trainers to willingly accept the risk of violent death as part of their job. He clearly has little regard for workers who face deadly hazards at the workplace.

According to Jordan Barab of DCReport, what Kavanaugh means to labor:

Brett Kavanaugh is a human time machine. His goal — and the goal of his supporters — is to return us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear — one hundred years in the past — when employers had no responsibility for workers who were injured or killed on the job because “fearless, courageous, and tough” workers had willingly “assumed” the risks.

Barab also points out how Brett Kavanaugh may no properly understand how law works.

It's not just his policies that makes him unqualified, but it's his lying that makes him unworthy.

According to The Intercept, while testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee on September 5, Kavanaugh said he had made rules that favored the EPA and the environment. Including, the Natural Resources Defense Council vs the EPA.

But as The Intercept points out:

Yet, in that case, which was decided by the D.C. Court of Appeals in 2014, Kavanaugh ruled against three of four challenges brought by the Natural Resources Defense Council and the Sierra Club. The judge rejected the environmental groups’ primary argument that the Environmental Protection Agency’s limits on lead, arsenic, chromium, and soot pollution from cement plants were too weak. He also rejected another legal challenge the groups posed to the EPA’s pollution limits. And Kavanaugh’s ruling also sided with industry in giving cement companies a two-year extension to pollute above the limits that the environmental groups already felt were too weak.

According to Kavanaugh's college roommate, Brett Kavanaugh has lied about his drinking in college:
