Literally a cuckquean

That was pretty amazing. Does this qualify as a place to say "the best people"?

This is a very complicated case. You know, a lotta ins, lotta outs, lotta what-have-you's. 

Seems like that should  be an immediate yes from anyone. A quick google shows she is counsel for the RC archdiocese in NOLA and strong anti-abortion advocate. She looked like she was trying to find the gotcha trap question about roe v wade that was going to follow a yes by her on this no brainer, talking about abiding by hypothetical decisions she may or may not agree with rather than answering about the specific case in question 

 

Or she could truly be a moron. 

 

Regardless that non answer should disqualify her

Sounds like she's a true originalist, and not one of these pretenders.

Hell, she's just saying what the Trump Republicans really think.  

I think Sawbonz may be on to something . . . she doesn't want to talk about Roe V Wade and is at least smart enough to know she shouldn't talk about any specific case if she wants to remain silent on abortion.

And yes, this should keep her from being appointed (which means she will be passed through with virtually no consideration otherwise, because the best people).

Her idiotic rationale for not answering should be grounds for not confirming, let alone her actual position on the case.  She should be able to give her legal opinion of an old ass case.  It's not some pending appeal that she might have to decide down the line. 

Hell, her mealy-mouthed comportment in that one minute clip should cause anyone to doubt her intellect not to mention her professionalism.

Perhaps she misunderstood the question and thought they were talking about interior design...brown is such a drab color, she probably just favors blue, but didn't want to come off as too rigid about color palettes.

Meh.  She says she understands precedent and its binding nature.  

So do most 8th-graders.  The bar should be a bit higher.

And she practiced law for a whopping 8 years.

I remember when Tahoe assured us Trump would just be using lists for qualified appointees that the GOP provided.  That hasn't worked out so well.

Just saw an article in the NO paper.  She's counsel of record, not lead counsel, in all of ONE federal case in her career.  One.  Single.  Case.

 

Jumping geezus on a pogo stick.

The really depressing thing is she's not even the least qualified person that he's nominated to be a Judge.

Someone should ask her if she thinks whoring should be illegal.

This. Being evasive about specific cases is pretty standard fair for confirmation hearings. The bigger problem is she's just outrageously unqualified.

That guy from the Federal Election Commission?  That was just sad.  Had to feel sorry for the guy.

 

And, as fun as it is to blame Trump, the fact that local GOPs are putting these people up for judgeships is staggering.

The best thing about that Kennedy’s questioing of him triggered retards on TexAgs, not realizing this Kennedy was a Republican from Louisiana.

Yep, he couldn't even answer basic legal questions during his hearing.  I'm not sure how he ever passed the bar exam.  I can't feel sorry for someone who accepted a job offer that they knew they weren't qualified for.

they're not the ones putting them up.  state GOP folks are for the most part left out of the loop on judicial nominees with this administration.  they're being nominated without any input from the Senators from a particular state, in fact, and the Senate Republican majority, particularly Grassley, has abandoned the "blue slip" process.

as to why, you figure it out...

The Texas nominees have mostly been Abbott cronies. Probably because he endorsed Trump before Cruz and Cornyn.

It's purely Trump's WH Counsel's office that is putting up these mooks.
