        “Just because you’ve seen “My Cousin Vinny” doesn’t qualify you to be a federal judge,” Kennedy said. “And he has no litigation experience. And my job on the judiciary committee is to catch him. I would strongly suggest he not give up his day job.”http://www.wwltv.com/news/politics/kennedy-on-trump-judicial-nominee-he-has-no-litigation-experience/500283211 …

        "some of my guys"? It's a presidential not a staff nomination! While @realDonaldTrump shouldn't be doing all the initial research and vetting, he is supposed to be sending people for confirmation he knows to be best for the job! less golf and treating the presidency as a p/t job!

        Too bad Trump knows nothing about Harry Truman’s mantra “the buck stops here”. It is always somebody else’s fault. Probably a good thing Trump never served in the military. Would have had no one’s back except his own.

        Trump knows nothing about what these job requirements entail and he doesn't care. He allows big donors to give him names to nominate, or he rewards unqualified ppl from his campaign w/positions in gov't. He doesn't give a rip about who they really are.

        This guy was so embarrassingly unqualified to be a federal judge I wonder if Trump cringed at all when he saw it. Some boneheads on the White House staff should be fired for picking this clueless nominee. Really dumb choice to be a federal judge. #Shame !!
