2. The other two were rated “qualified,” and as for Judge Grasz, see @EdWhelanEPPC (and others) about why the NQ was unjustified. #scotus #AppellateTwitter

3. No, judicial nominations are not a game - but if you want to see them that way, then the left needs to play better. Courts and judges matter.

My original tweet was also just about circuit nominees - but this study is interesting, especially the part about reversal rates - thanks for sharing it.

"left-leaning"? For a second, I thought you were going to post something objective. How many were "not qualified"?
-
Read the whole thread; one (and that was dubious).
-
The ABA rated at least four of Trump's judicial nominees as "unqualified." You're counting only the one who was confirmed regardless.
-
Appellate or circuit judges, not trial or district judges. My statement went to appellate/circuit judges (which the
@WhiteHouse controls more than trial/district judges). -
What does it indicate that 23 of 26 appellate judges were rated "well-qualified" by the "left-leaning" ABA? Trying to see where you're going here.

What's your reasoning for saying
@ABAesq is left leaning? I honestly have no idea where they go and I'm wondering. -
Lawyers generally lean left

I mean, in a sense you could call the rule of law a great liberal cause, but it seems strange to me to assign left or right lean to something as seemingly by-the-book as the ABA without sourcing it somehow.

Thanks, I only saw you via retweet so missed that.
