I agree with Dingy Harry for once. Putting a moron with no judicial experience on the federal bench is no different than what we are doing now. Putting morons WITH judicial experience on the bench.
Since DemocRATS only want people they can count on
to do what they’re told, experience as a judge is not a requirement.
Why should someone who has no experience in being a judge be appointed to the federal courts?
Would they hire someone to work in their national “cyber security” office that had no experience with computers? (don’t answer that question LOL)
Noooooow he wakes up?
The ABA ratings have been a joke since the 1990s.
Most if not ALL federal judges are from the DOJ ranks and it is true they have NEVER seen or been in the real world.
nor do they care.
Of course he is. This is an affirmative action appointment all the way, and everybody knows it. Unfortunately for Reid and Navarro, the "wise Latina" horse manure has already been used to help get a crappy liberal activist judge confirmed.
I don’t know anything about the woman, but I do know one thing: Harry Reid would never consider appointing someone he couldn’t count on to be a total Leftist. BTW, she will be replacing a Republican.
Dingy harry is sayiing this because he is in serious trouble.
Longer than that. They sure didn't have any integrity about the Bork nomination in 1987.
True but does she have a “compelling life story”? That trumps judicial experience, intelligence, common sense and understanding of the U.S. Constitution and our laws EVERY TIME.
A democrat who can’t get along with the leftist ABA? That is really weird.
If she were another wise Latina, she wouldn’t be voting for Dingy.
Translating from the Reid-ese:
“people who have never seen the outside world.” = People who haven’t taken bribes from Jack Abramoff.
Didn’t the ABA approve all the Kelo justices? And that’s not sicko enough for Reid.
You’d be surprised how many SCOTUS judges have had no years of judicial experience. There used to be 5 routes to the Supreme Court, all roughly equally used until recent years (1990’s).
Politician (Earl Warren, Hugo Black - but he had judicial experience),
Executive Branch (Rehnquist, William O. Douglas)
Private Attorney (Lewis Powell)
Then I think the last two were Federal Court and then State Court...
No worse than putting a moron with no executive experience in the White House!!!
If I were appointing a judge, I’d want someone that had a deep understanding of the US Constitution(as it was written), and actually applied it to cases as a judge. I didn’t realize there were so many that were appointed without that experience.
Ideologically, I believe judges should be more (small l)libertarian when it comes to domestic matters, but above all else, follow the US Constitution.
Many of Reagan's best appointments to the lower federal bench had no prior judicial experience. Someone who was the best civil trial lawyer (either side) or a great and fair prosecutor would also have no "prior judicial eperience."
Many, many federal disrict judges have no prior judicial experience, so I frankly doubt that the woman's problem with the ABA is that.
ah. I see.
So, if I go to enough virtuoso violinist performances, I should make a great violinist...
Ried is an idiot. Justice Bill Ayers will be proof. Certainly has the criminal experience missing in the court.
