You should start a thread with this.Will Donald Trump Destroy the Presidency?
Donald trump is testing the institution of the presidency unlike any of his 43 predecessors. We have never had a president so ill-informed about the nature of his office, so openly mendacious, so self-destructive, or so brazen in his abusive attacks on the courts, the press, Congress (including members of his own party), and even senior officials within his own administration. Trump is a Frankensteinās monster of past presidentsā worst attributes: Andrew Jacksonās rage; Millard Fillmoreās bigotry; James Buchananās incompetence and spite; Theodore Rooseveltās self-aggrandizement; Richard Nixonās paranoia, insecurity, and indifference to law; and Bill Clintonās lack of self-control and reflexive dishonesty.
Clearly this is one of the most qualified people in America to be a Federal judge.He didn't fail to answer, he answered all the questions and some he did not know the answers to.

He hasn't tried a case to a verdict, argued a motion, or taken a deposition by himself. Clearly Trump can't find anyone more qualified than this guy- because none of the THOUSANDS of sitting state judges are as qualified......or perhaps not quite a predictably partisan.....
In the clip, Senator John Kennedy asked the five nominees up for confirmation whether theyād ever tried a case to a verdict. Petersen admitted that he hadnāt, and Kennedy went on to spend the five minutes he was allotted peppering Petersen with run-of-the-mill legal questions. It quickly became clear that Petersen seemed to lack the knowledge expected of a federal judge. āAs a trial judge, youāre obviously going to have witnesses. Can you tell me what the Daubert standard is?ā Kennedy asked. āSenator Kennedy, I donāt have that readily at my disposal, but I would be happy to take a closer look at that. That is not something Iāve had to contend with,ā Petersen replied. Kennedy then asked Petersen if he could define such terms as a motion in limine, the Younger abstention doctrine, and the Pullman abstention doctrine. Petersen, like a first-year law school student caught in the headlights, demurred, ultimately admitting heād never argued a motion in state or federal court or taken a deposition by himself.

To repeat....
Is Ridicule of Federal Judge Nominee Justified?
Matthew Petersen is not a litigator. He is a member of the Federal Election Commission and has expertise with respect to election law:
Matthew S. Petersen was nominated to the Federal Election Commission by President George W. Bush on June 12, 2008, and unanimously confirmed by the United States Senate on June 24, 2008.
From 2005 until his appointment to the Commission, Mr. Petersen served as Republican chief counsel to the U.S. Senate Committee on Rules and Administration. In this capacity, Mr. Petersen provided counsel on issues relating to federal campaign finance and election administration laws as well as the Standing Rules of the Senate.
Prior to this, Mr. Petersen served as counsel to the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on House Administration. During his tenure, Mr. Petersen was extensively involved in the crafting of the Help America Vote Act of 2002 (āHAVAā) and the House-Senate negotiations that culminated in HAVAās passage. From 1999 to 2002, Mr. Petersen specialized in election and campaign finance law at the law firm of Wiley Rein LLP in Washington, DC.
The lawyers who have the most thorough understanding of substantive areas of the lawāreal estate, taxes, corporate governance and so onāare generally not litigators. Do we really want to say that all of these non-litigatorsāthe majority of lawyersāare unfit to be trial judges?
During my career as a lawyer, I took thousands of depositions, argued countless motions, and tried 100 jury cases. Would that experience give me a leg up as a newly-appointed trial court judge? Of course. But does it mean that one of my non-litigator partners would be disqualified from such an appointment, no matter how good a lawyer he or she might be? I donāt think so.
I know what the Daubert standard and motions in limine are, although I have no idea what the difference between the two abstention doctrines mentioned by Senator Kennedy might be. But these are things that come with being a litigator. Newly-appointed judges attend ājudge school,ā where they are taught the finer points of the rules of evidence. Still, trial judges are like basketball referees. Iāve never met two trial judges who had exactly the same interpretation of the rules.
Most lawyers who are appointed to the bench in both federal and state courts have backgrounds in litigation. No doubt that is appropriate. However, it is by no means rare for non-litigator lawyers to be appointed, or win election, to the bench. In my opinion, that is a good thing. I donāt see why a minority of lawyersālitigatorsāshould have a monopoly on the bench.
I donāt know whether Matthew Petersen will make a good judge or not. But in my view, he doesnāt deserve to be ridiculed because his highly-successful law caree
