Short answer, yes. Long answer, by most definitions, also yes -- he's got a JD, he served 12 years as a judge, he's alternatively been rated very qualified and qualified by the American Bar Association, etc. Of course, if you're partisan, it depends on your party whether you think he's qualified. The fact that you disagree with a particular view doesn't necessarily make a candidate unqualified.

Pretty much this.

Also GreenKnight has a point (though perhaps not to the extreme). In politics, "qualifications" these days tend to boil down to the opinions of the person, and how well they align with the latest politically-correct mindset. People who go against socially-accepted opinions are "unqualified." But, academically-speaking, he's one of the most qualified guys out there (not politically, but professionally). The guy has quite a resume.
