    Don't know what you're talking about. Trump's nominees go through extreme vetting by the best people. Experts, the best.

    I did laugh that Trump's nominees have to be asked if they've ever supported the Ku Klux Klan. LOL

    An appointee to be a federal judge not knowing what a motion in lamine is is both incredible and pathetic at the same time. I'm not even a lawyer and I'm familiar with the term. On top of that, how do you not even do basic research on something like this for a confirmation hearing? The worst part is that all these Republican senators will grill him and make him look like the amateur that he is and they'll still likely confirm him.

    When these are the kinds of appointments a "leader" makes, that person shouldn't be the leader.

    I was told that we would get "tired of winning". I haven't seen it yet.

    That video is horrifyingly terrible.

    Is it more terrifying than the video of Roy Moore’s campaign manager not knowing that you didn’t have to be sworn into office with a Christian bible?

    He actually answered every question contrary to the tweet in the article.

    His answers made more sense than OPs thread title.

    If I ask you at what temperature water boils and you say 50 degrees then you couldn't answer the question. When you're asked a question, typically there's an assumption that the person is looking for the correct answer.

    Exhibit number infinity on Trumpanzees and their stupidity.

    I guess answering , "Ummm I don't know but I can look into that on wikipedia" is a good answer to you.

    Trump's strategy is clear, do the opposite of what Obama with. Appoint smart people? No, put dumb people. Put an expert of science in Charge of NASA? No, put someone who flunked physical science. Put the head of an oil company as your secretary of state. Put the most inexperienced people who have never been a judge to become judges.

    It makes perfect sense. Why wouldn't Putin make such absurd appointments?

    KENNEDY: As a trial judge, you’re obviously going to have witnesses. Can you tell me what the Daubert standard is?

    PETERSEN: Sen. Kennedy, I don’t have that readily at my disposal but I would be happy to take a closer look at that. That is not something I’ve had to contend with.

    KENNEDY: Do you know what a motion in limine is?

    PETERSEN: Yes.. I haven’t, I’m, again, my background is not in litigation as when I was replying to Chairman (Chuck) Grassley (R-Iowa), I haven’t had to um, again, do a deep dive.

    Don't let it fool you. Trump has a method to his madness. Trump wants to appoint YES, men as federal judges. All dictators want to appoint YES, men.

    Why do you do this to yourself?

    Posts like this definitely make me assume you are playing some type of shtick.
