There are hundreds of opinions by those who knew and know Kavanaugh that are totally opposite to Brock's. There is a several year actual record of Kavanaugh's quality as a judge, as a husband and father, and as a member of the community. Opinion can matter. But it is still the facts that should ultimately decide.

The fact's in the Constitution are its text.

The facts of a persons Character are the public and legal record of his life as well as the disposition of those currently around him.

The fact's re his qualification as a judge are plainly exposed by his judicial record.

The personal opinion of someone who is ideologically opposed to the party in question and is remembering the past may cast a negative light. But if it is entirely different than a preponderance of other opinions, at best it might moderate to some degree, however small, overall opinion. Or it may just be taken with a grain of salt.
