Guy is pretty much a lobbyist wet dream, not just for what he decides, but how he does it.

Net neutrality — Violates free speech of companies.

Obamacare— You're already paying for it with taxes, but when the government added some transparency and added some price controls... K laid the foundation to have Obamacare overturned because it could be considered a tax. Nevermind the taxes already collected and subsidies spent for the last several decades.

Church and state —Is good with tearing down church and state wall.

Abortion— He's ok with it, as long as companies/groups can still avoid paying for it based on religious views.

Unions — They're bad.

Companies are people — Yup, presumably in line with other partisan judges who think companies have the same rights if not the same responsibilities.

More legislation — In favor, judging by his tendency to say 'that's what should happen but it's up to Congress' on matters ranging from global warming to banking. Instead of agencies with people who know what to do, it's, K has ruled regularly, up to Congress to create more laws. Who those laws are enforced by? Who the heck knows... they'll probably (if they think clean water or risky bank investing are concerns) just create agencies and staff them with people who know what to... er... wait, isn't that what ... egads...

You're forgetting the major selling point for Trump. Kavanaugh holds the opinion that a sitting POTUS should not be subject to lawsuits or investigations.

There's a reason Turtle Head wouldn't allow Obama's nominee to even get a hearing.  And there's a reason he will fast forward this choice right in.

It will take time...but the case will get to them.

I can't remember which cases, now, but there has been follow-up case law that has strengthened Roe. I do think the concerns over it being overturned are overblown. I'm much more concerned with his pro-corporation views.
