Frankly, I thought Willie Cicci did a better job.



In all seriousness, in my career I encountered several litigation attorneys (some of them partners) from big SF law firms, who were no spring chickens, and who clearly appeared to have never tried a case. All I can figure is that they must have been rainmakers and settled all their cases at a real bargain for their clients' adversaries. A politically connected associate in my firm was appointed a Superior Court judge. As an attorney she never tried a case and rarely was near a courtroom.

Conservatives elected an entirely unqualified president. Should it surprise anyone that they're now going to stuff a bunch of unqualified judges onto the federal bench?

Conservatives don't care about professional qualifications in their candidates, nor do they care about decency or justice. All they care about is getting people who will advance their garbage agenda into power.

Watched Godfather 2 last night. Which one of Cruz, Pence, or Hatch is most likely to be like Nevada Senator Geary? Putin already has Trump on a short leash.

He may be a business attorney. In England, trial lawyers are barristers and business lawyers are scriveners. Scriveners cannot argue before the court. In our country, most business lawyers know little to nothing about trial practice. They also should not be trial court judges.

Hatch has just the perfect amount of pompousness to be Senator Geary.

A little more than a month later he is kissing tRump's rear end after the tax plan passes. He is a total hypocrite lying windbag.

Bullet dodged. White House removes dangerously incompetent Kathleen White from consideration for top environmental post.
