Ironically, ACB really is a DEI hire with the undertone of “unqualified” they use. At the time Trump was either pressured or he had otherwise promised he’d nominate a woman.
ACB has less than HALF of the experience of any other SCOTUS judge, Kavanaugh included. She was blatantly unqualified.
This would be true, but all of Trump's appointees are underqualified, so it's on par for him.
Kavanaugh had the necessary professional experience, on par with the rest of SCOTUS at the time. It’s just that he’s so clearly partisan, that he should not have been confirmed by the senate.
Also, had he had an actual backbone, he would have let the FBI run and finish his background check. Allegations are allegations. People may lie. The FBI should have run the full investigation to see if the allegations had merit or not. But this didn’t happen. Therefore, in my opinion, he is unqualified even if he didn’t commit sexual assault
His crybaby blubbering "I like beer" temper tantrum is pretty disqualifying IMO
Well, yes. I’m saying his legal career on paper made him look qualified. What made him look unqualified was, well, (IMO) everything not directly related to his legal work.
The perjury he was doing while testifying to Congress was also enough in my book as well as his beer outburst trying to respond to Klobuchar.
I'm addition to his sexual assault history, the FBI should have been allowed to look into the large amount of gambling debt that disappeared when journalists looked into it, and his alcoholism. Any of those should be disqualifying for the highest Court in the country.
Many of Trump's appointees have been highly qualified. He usually ends up firing them and calling them idiots.
You must be talking about his first term. Even then, some of them were…. yeah
Reince Priebus was Trump's first Chief of Staff. He was a big wig in the GOP with tons of Washington experience. Totally qualified for the job, iirc he lasted less than a month.
