Would Kavanaugh's judicial viewpoint allow for an exclusion of that diary entry, about shooting the baby, from consideration?

I imagine Kavanaugh was selected because he could be counted for delivering pro-conservative votes and arguments.

As asinine as his comment was, I'm not sure he'd support impeachment even if Trump did in fact kill a baby. There seems to be absolutely nothing this guy can do to earn his disapproval. Identity politics at work.

If Mueller decides to subpoena and/or indict Trump, this would most certainly head to the Supreme Court when Trump undoubtedly refuses to be indicted. As EA explained, "Supreme Court may have to answer the question of the legality of criminal indictment of Trump at some point." Yeah, no kidding.

You repeating the claim is not an actual "explanation".
See, you wrote: "The point being that if Mueller were to pursue indictment then this thing would to to the Supreme Court."
and then i asked : "Can you explain under what scenario that "this" would go to Supreme Court?"
then you wrote repeated: "If Mueller decides to subpoena and/or indict Trump"...with the redundancy of "when Trump undoubtedly refuses to be indicted" (because yeah, we all noticed the context)....and quoting EA's "legality of criminal indictment of Trump at some point" also does not suffice, because you have yet to explain "at what point"? you have yet to offer the explanation that merits the belief that "at some point" falls on some realistic line.

Trump's refusal to be indicted does not = automatically go straight to the Supreme Court.

So, again - please explain your statement of fear here.
