        The temptation is to blame Trump, as a everything. But to me this raises a huge concern about legal education. Apparently this nominee went to UVa Law school, which is very highly regarded and was on Law Review. How does this happen?

        The medical parallel would be to learn a candidate for chief of surgery never executed a complete procedure. Sure, he's an MD, but not one to supervise your operation.

        The problem is I don't think that would EVER happen in medicine/surgery. Too many checks and regular vetting. So I am genuinely surprised to see that is apparently possible in law. That testimony was like a sentinel event. That cannot be attributed solely to Trump.

        Agreed. There are two issues: apoarent cluelessness of the nominee; and that they were someone's first choice for nomination. Best, D

        Every appointment by this administration has been a misinformed opponent or an affront to the office they are appointed to. This may take decades to fix.

        And a surgeon doesn't automatically have the job for life. Trump will cast a long shadow over the future of the Republic and that's if we have a future. Fun.
