GOP Senator questions a Trump US District Judge nominee at confirmation hearing...

[Bald1]

I felt embarrassed just listening to it. I'm ignorant of the legal system, but it seems that Hyper-Chicken would be more qualified for the job than this guy.

Are these basic things a lawyer should know?
I am no lawyer but my grandmother loved Matlock, so I have a little experience in Lawyering.

As a non Lawyer I have to ask. Was Kennedy's line of questioning normal? Was he lobbing him softball and he was whiffing?

he probably shared a line of coke off a hookers tits at a party, and thought "hey ! you seem cool, you wanna job?"

Awful, but I just want to add that many conservatives argued that even an incompetent Trump was preferable over Hillary because he would make conservative judicial appointments. Well, they're conservative but also idiots? Not sure they were arguing that was a good thing!

the article i read stated any second year law student would have a good answer regarding the ‘Daubert standard’ (expert testimony) and motion in limine (evidence to be excluded at trial)

It's gotten ridiculous, there are dozens of these .

On this topic alone Trump should have lost the majoriry of his support

 

[KILL KILL]

That person seems like he just showed up to a job interview with absolutely zero qualifications for the job.

And by conservatives they meant partisan hacks with zero qualifications.

 

[Fawlty]

He's less qualified than the TMZ guy. Fuck's sake.

 

[HunterSdVa29]

I get putting incompetent people in places you think should be shut down (DoE, DoEd, HHS w/ benny carson in charge)....

but a judge?

what in the f

 

[FinalFight]

Trump only hires the best. The fact that his judicial nominee can't answer basic questions is neither here nor there.
