he said, ‘Kennedy, when some of my guys send somebody over who’s not qualified, you do your job,’
IOW: When we throw the grenade into the engine room, it’s your job to find the pin and head off the explosion.
“…a video of him struggling to answer questions…”
Had to see this one coming…oh and there’s this.
Sad part is even this won’t deter his rabid base.
Dear Matt:
That must have been very embarrassing, and not just to you, but to everyone who shares even a superficial similarity to you. Maybe you’d like to consider changing your name? Just a thought.
Best wishes,
Matt
If only saying stupid things in public and being obviously ignorant of the basic facts needed to do a job were enough for others in the Administration to withdraw or resign. There would be lots of empty chairs at the next Cabinet meeting, including the one at the head of the table.
there is but one way to describe this doofus: DERP!
Thankfully, because the Republicans would have confirmed him.
When Trump sends his people over, he’s not sending his best. He’s not sending them. He’s sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing ignorance. They’re bringing partisanship. They’re hacks. And some, I assume, are good people.
Thank the law gods he withdrew.
Jesus - I have never seen such terrible nominees to federal benches - this is unbelievable.
He’s just now withdrawing? He should have done that immediately upon leaving the hearing room.
Yea, he didn’t withdraw because he was so fucking ignorant, he withdrew because everyone found out about it. Fuck this.
Let me guess, he had to talk it over with friends and family before making the decision.
At least those that have not disowned or disavowed him after that performance.
How about you were just too uneducated with so much lack of knowledge to even remotely be considered for district court judge.
Only a trump would have thought different
Trickle down cronyism is like that.
From the questionnaire the late Mr. Petersen filled out for the Senate Judiciary Committee:
He could have walked to the Tidal Basin in a half-hour and thrown himself in. That’s what I would have done.
I wouldn’t count on that not having an impact on his so-called base. He promised them the moon and they were stupid enough to believe the con man but they’ve proven themselves to be the kind of people who are angry and willing to turn on anyone. That should scare the crap outta him and his 'pub lackeys in congress.
Remember, this wholly unqualified moron cleared the judiciary committee with 100% 'pub support.
ETA - also remember that that grilling of Petersen was done by a republican!
I don’t know if I have heard answers from anyone less qualified to be a trial judge.
That said, he did the right thing.
