Well, I certainly don't claim to be any sort of "insider" -- I just took one seminar with Justice Kavanaugh and got a very general sense of what he's like. What makes the lefty hate towards him very clarifying is that he's about as boring and establishment as a Republican can be (short of going fully Cheney/Kitzinger). He's someone that ANY Republican President would have appointed. And yet they still want to destroy him -- in some cases, literally. So it's not just Trump; it's anyone they think stands in their way.
Someone -- I think it was Justice Scalia -- once said that if your legal analysis always gives you the answer you wanted, you're probably doing it wrong. So even when I disagree with one or more of the conservative Justices, I can usually respect their reasoning. This was actually the theme of my seminar paper on Brown v. BOE: just because something is bad doesn't mean it's unconstitutional, or vice versa.
