      apparently only trial lawyers are qualified to be district court judges - I wish there was some standard for being in the House or Senate!!

      You don't have to be a trial lawyer, but you do have to know how to run a trial. He didn't even study. What questions did he think were going to be on the test?

      I thought those questions were fair game. At the same time, I don’t think I can recall a senator asking a district judge nominee those kinds of questions in a confirmation hearing.

      Because normally it would be insulting & clearly unnecessary?

      I didn’t know the answers to some of those questions. But if your view is that everyone knows the answers, then I’ll just be quiet about it.

      Well, not “everyone”— I didn’t either. But I’m not up for a seat on a federal court.

      And if he knew those questions were coming, he’d have all the right answers to all of them too. ( As will future nominees.) But if you think past nominees of both parties all would have passed that test, I think that’s not likely.

      Replying to @OrinKerr @normative and

      Depends on what constitutes a pass. Would I have expected all nominees to recite the Daubert standard verbatim? No. But I would expect them to be able to say something like "It's the test used to ensure that an expert uses scientifically valid methods to reach reliable results."

      Replying to @jeffreynye @OrinKerr and

      That was my take. This wasn’t a question that necessitated being able to get a 100 on a law school exam; it would have been enough to describe the underlying legal principle to a non-lawyer. That he clearly couldn’t attempt even that was jarring to me.
