Senate Rs confirmed *another* lifetime federal judge who earned rare & embarrassing "not qualified"
A thing that happened today that won't get much attention: Senate Republicans confirmed *another* lifetime federal judge who earned a rare and embarrassing "not qualified" rating by the American Bar Association.
McConnell called Walker "unquestionably the most outstanding nomination that I’ve ever recommended to Presidents to serve on the bench in Kentucky.
The guy was rated "not qualified" to be a judge!
Justin Walker's background: He's an associate law professor + previously clerked for Brett Kavanaugh, who he went out of his way to defend against Christine Blasey Ford's sexual assault allegations.
Walker did more than *seventy* media interviews to push back on Christine Blasey Ford's allegations against Kavanaugh.
“She may believe that assailant was Brett Kavanaugh,” Walker said on Fox News in Sept. 2018. “I believe she’s mistaken.”
Anyway, this guy is a lifetime federal judge now.
Goodnight to all!
