It doesn't seem to matter how lavishly he praises someone; it (s)he fails him in some way, whether (s)he fails in some way in the job, or fails to support him enough personally, Trump is usually willing to fire or drop that person.
But he may still have time to nominate another candidate and get him or her approved, even in a lame duck session after which the Democrats take over, or before Jan.3 in any case. As of now, it's uncertain that the Democrats can take it over. Even if they do, and more options for blocking Trump will thereby happen, he would still when some Senate votes because the Democrats will still include some from red states.
Considering the recent accusation by a college classmate, this may happen. I don't see Kavanaugh getting to the court unscathed. If he does make it anyway, it will almost certainly trigger a court-packing movement.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
