Mr. Talley, who graduated from Harvard Law School in 2007 and is a deputy assistant attorney general at the Justice Department, is the fourth judicial nominee under Mr. Trump to receive a “not qualified” rating from the American Bar Association and the second to receive the rating unanimously. Since 1989, the group has unanimously rated only two other judicial nominees not qualified.
Kind of burying the lede. “Trump Administration Blowing Up Judiciary” is the bigger story here.
so when he inevitably fucks up a case, will there be a mistrial and the perp walks? “this judge clearly doesn’t understand… he has never been involved in any type of case, therefore, how can he pass judgement on…?” Hell, you would almost target is court for your trial, knowing that the probability of him fucking something up is incredibly high, shooting for a mistrial
nice bowl cut in that pic BTW, and could you imagine having his smug pug looking at you from the bench, would make one want to scream “hey, get some experience before you apply for the job”
How the fuck could Sasse and Flake convince themselves that they’re “anti-Trump”? This kind of thing — party over principle in the GOP — is precisely what gave us Trump. This is the epitome of “Trump enabling.”

The phrase compensation commensurate with experience in a job description means that your starting wage or salary, if hired, is variable. Personal factors such as your demonstrated hard and soft skills, level of education, history in the sector or industry, and relevant work experience will all be evaluated.
WTF, the Asshole-elect isn’t qualified either, and look at what a great job he’s doing.
It would appear that the Trump administration diligently searches for the “not qualified” for all positions. This is evidenced by DOJ. DOE, HHS, and SCOTUS.
Why would anyone expect anything less for an appeals judge. Sad.
In a follow-up written question, Feinstein asked him how many times he had appeared in a federal district court.
“To my recollection, during my time as Alabama’s deputy solicitor general, I participated as part of the legal team in one hearing in federal district court in the Middle District of Alabama,” he replied.
And this…
Talley has published three horror novels/novellas and two “true ghost stories”; in 2011, Talley’s Lovecraftian horror novel That Which Should Not Be was a finalist for the Bram Stoker Award.
One federal court hearing when he happened to get asked along and did nothing - BUT 3, count them 3 horror novel/novellas. ETA: and 2 “true ghost stories.” How could I have missed the best part of his experience.
The hospital announced today that the senior brain surgeon’s position will go to a doctor who has never operated; seen patients or even been in an operating room.
