The Senate will vote on yet another nominee the American Bar Association rates “not qualified.” Jonathan Kobes, age 44, is nominated to a lifetime appointment to the Eighth Circuit. He’s never been a judge, has tried only SIX cases, and has argued only ONE appeal – 15 years ago.
Kobes has filed briefs in only two appeals, yet he’s been nominated to serve on an appellate court where he would write dozens of opinions a year. Circuit courts are where most Americans receive final justice. They deserve to have qualified, experienced judges presiding.
The American Bar Association said of Kobes: “None of the writing that we reviewed is reflective of complex legal analysis, knowledge of the law, or ability to write about complex matters in a clear and cogent manner — qualities that are essential for a circuit court judge.”
It looks like MCConnell is still trying to ‘pay back’ Democrats for voting their conscience 10 years ago! He ll never stop destroying our Country. This trump/McConnell leadership is going to leave our nation in shambles for decades.
Yup and we are headed for a recession
When Trump and Pence are impeached, all of these judicial appointments will need to be rescinded.
I can't even wrap my head around the fact that someone deemed NOT QUALIFIED by the ABA is even eligible for nomination in any way.
Seems there needs to be more rules put in place so NOT QUALIFIED persons are no longer even able to be a passing thought.
This is shocking. @SenatorIsakson As your constituent, I am asking you to vote against this appointment. @sendavidperdue is a lost cause, but Senator Isakson, I think of you as a man of integrity. Will you please insist that a qualified person fill this position?
As another constituent, @SenatorIsakson I also ask that you uphold the integrity, competence, and professionalism of our judicial system and vote against this nominee.
