I accept that Trump isn’t personally picking these unqualified nominees (or is he?) but who is? Who in their right mind decided that this completely unqualified guy should become a judge for life?! Who signs off on such a thing and why? Did they think no one would notice his astounding lack of qualifications? Is he connected to a campaign donor or something? Is he on record praising Trump?
I can’t name names off the top of my head but as I understand it, there were at least two other nominees who were classified as “Unqualified” by the ABA and were subsequently withdrawn from consideration. The thought that federal judgeships are being given out like candy is disheartening at best. I get it. To the victor go the spoils but this is like electing a reality TV star as President.
