Everything you say is true but I think what this most exposed was his utter lack of the necessary experience for the job as opposed to his lack of preparation for the hrg

This is 100% correct. Jonathan you should be focused on the fact that Trump wanted to appoint someone completely unprepared / unqualified to take this job.

I don't think these things are mutually exclusive.

True, but your underprepared-for-the-hearing point pales in importance to Brian’s zero-qualifications-for-the-job point. Brian’s point is catastrophically, gravely important.

Jon is right in that if he had at least crammed, he could have "faked" it better in the hearing. But anyone with litigation experience could have answered Kennedy's questions with relative ease even if they breezed into hearing

It is astonishing what a fucking bozo Trump nominated for a federal judgeship. That represents a crisis for US government. Jonathan I hope you focus on this as opposed to the tactical question of how this guy prepared for his hearing. Focusing on the latter is Cillizza-like.

What nerve to even show up for such a hearing when so unqualified and unprepared. Carry yourself with the confidence of a mediocre white man.

The questions were so rudimentary, I could see not even going over them in prep. It would be like studying your multiplication tables while studying for a call test.

No trials (civil or crim), doesn't know what a motion in limine is, less than 5 depos. That's the caliber of the Trump administration.
