WASHINGTON — Brett J. Talley, President Donald Trump’s nominee to be a federal judge in Alabama, has never tried a case, was unanimously rated “not qualified” by the American Bar Association’s judicial rating committee, has practiced law for only three years and, as a blogger last year, displayed a degree of partisanship unusual for a judicial…
I loved this quote: “”So far, no one from his party has been willing to stand up against him [Trump] on the agenda of packing the courts,” said Marge Baker, vice president of People for the American Way.” Talk of sheer hypocrisy! Because Obama’s agenda was not exactly the same thing, only worse? He showed Trump how to do it! Democrats and liberals of all stripes complaining about nominations of judges based on political inclination have only themselves to blame. There are way too many liberal judges who openly ignore the law or skew it in favor of their political inclinations (e.g. the 9th District Court). They have thus destroyed the credibility and trust people had in judges, as they were expected to remain impartial at all times and limiting their role strictly to interpreting the law. That is not the case any more, and we owe this disaster entirely to the left. For them to complain now that the right is doing the same thing they have done for too long is laughable.
