A complete fuck up by objective standards? That's the most subjective thing I've heard so far. Everyone that has worked with him has praised him. What are you smoking?
The ABA downgraded him in 2005 from "well qualified" to "qualified", then in 2018 said that his confirmation to the Supreme Court was not in the best interests of the legal profession or the Association. Those are certainly the people who worked most closely with him.
Objectively, you'd want to find one of the top handful of legal scholars in America to serve on the court. Kavanaugh is not one of those people. He has a scant record of legal scholarship. He does have a documented record of getting into fights in bars.

Here are some facts:
At least 13 of his opinions have been vindicated by the Supreme Court already.
The American Bar Association unanimously gave him its highest rating: well-qualified.
He has served on the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, often called the Nation’s “second highest court,” for more than 12 years.
He has written more than 300 opinions and heard more than 2,000 cases.
He has taught for more than a decade at the Nation’s two top law schools, Yale and Harvard
