Current Events > Trump federal judge nominee has never tried a case, approved by Senate for life.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Brett J. Talley, President Trumps nominee to be a federal judge in Alabama, has never tried a case, was unanimously rated not qualified by the American Bar Assn.s judicial rating committee, has practiced law for only three years and, as a blogger last year, displayed a degree of partisanship unusual for a judicial nominee, denouncing Hillary Rotten Clinton and pledging support for the National Rifle Assn.

On Thursday, the Senate Judiciary Committee, on a party-line vote, approved him for a lifetime appointment to the federal bench.

Talley, 36, is part of what Trump has called the untold story of his success in filling the courts with young conservatives.

I don't care what party you are a part of, approving crap like that is an abuse of the system. It is the kind of stuff you expect to see in corrupt 3rd world countries.

Just another day in Trumps America. Credentials do not matter.

This dude is even less-qualified than Betsy DeVos, and that is saying something.

Stop. She was a clerk on the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, the Supreme Court (for Thurgood Marshall), served as White House Counsel, and was the Solicitor General.

This.
The guy trump appointed is nothing more than a hard-line conservative blogger. It is a disgrace to our judicial system that this kind of stuff can go through. So much for checks and balances.

Dude, you can't play someone off as having 30 years experience and base that time off of when she got her degree in law. Reality is that she was either a pencil pusher for a judge or Bill's house pet and later just some piece of garbage left at Harvard to spew crappy opinions to the heavily susceptible minds of spoiled rich kids.

LOL you are so full of crap.

Early career
Kagan was a law clerk for Judge Abner J. Mikva of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in 1987 and for Justice Thurgood Marshall of the U.S. Supreme Court in 1988

You're full of shit, she was a pencil pusher for some judges and went back to school to teach those with no experience while having little experience.
Kagan joined the faculty of the University of Chicago Law School as an assistant professor in 1991 and became a tenured professor of law in 1995
Then of course Bill Clinton appointed her to some position and she then went to teach at a university again.

It's like having an old medic from Nam replace your heart despite doing nothing of the such in the past 40 years, and then you say he has 45 years of experience.

Funny, because all I see in this thread are hypocrites, mindlessly defending Obama's action and going off with crocodile tears saying "s-stop deflecting to our emperor, h-he didn't do anything wrong!"

You don't know what you're talking about.

I bet you don't even know what a clerk does. What you call a 'pencil pusher' is one of the most highly competitive, coveted and distinguished professional experiences in the entire American legal system. She researched and wrote judicial opinions and bench memos for the highest court on the federal judiciary. Her drafts were edited by Justice Marshall for inclusion in the United States Reports.

I like how you're trying to over-hype the actual process as if you have no clue as to what they do and are just trying to defend Obama's terrible pick because he was your lord and savior.

But I'll give you a c for effort. Troll.

We need more liberal judges so that they can illegally overturn Trump's orders and then Get BTFO by the supreme court.

This happens pretty much in every first world country. In Canada, we have people who have no experience in healthcare running health care, people who have no background in finance as the finance ministers, etc.

The ABA doesn't have such powers, it is not a branch of the federal government. They just do reviews of nominees and make their opinion.

They were being called out on not saying anything when Obama did it, which is funny because Trump didn't nominate his sister to the supreme court because it was a conflict of interest, but Obama nominated his good friend from Harvard and a a big campaign donor.

If you want a prime example of fucking with the judiciary, go look at FDR.
Franklin Roosevelt was the closest the US has ever gotten to an actual dictator. Then his brain exploded and we got a haberdasher in his place.
