Bragging rights for Trump

The lawyer, Brett Talley, is the fourth judicial nominee under President Trump to receive a “not qualified” rating from the bar association and the second to receive the rating unanimously.

Of course, Trump himself is unqualified for his position, and as we've seen in so many, many cases of unqualified Trump nominees for everything - they still get confirmed - often with Democrat support.

Since 1989, the association has unanimously rated only two other judicial nominees as not qualified.

[T]he comparative rarity of “not qualified” ratings for judicial nominees under previous administrations may have been due, at least in part, to a difference in procedure. Every president since Dwight D. Eisenhower, with the exception of George W. Bush, screened potential nominees with the American Bar Association before publicly announcing them — a tradition the Trump administration has decided to shun.

The Senate committee on Thursday also approved four other nominees for federal judgeships, including Holly Lou Teeter, who also received a “not qualified” rating.

Of course, this begs the question: By whom were the other two nominated? And, if your mind went immediately to George W Bush, as mine did, you would be right.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
