12/16/17: Trump has now nominated four candidates for positions on the federal bench who end up being rated “unqualified” by the American Bar Association. How about Brett Talley for a seat on a district court? Why not!
Talley just happens to believe the first version of the Ku Klux Klan in the 1870s was a fine civic organization.
Make America Great Again?
Did you know two of Trump’s nominees deemed “unqualified” were rated so by unanimous vote? Since the American Bar Association started issuing ratings in 1989 only two other nominees have ever been unanimously rated “unqualified.”
Matthew S. Petersen, another Trump nominee, rated “qualified,” had his name withdrawn after a disastrous appearance in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee. During his hearing he pretty much failed to answer any of the questions put to him by Republican Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana.
All Petersen really seemed to understand was that if confirmed for a judgeship he’d get to bang a gavel.
