Interesting tidbit from Phyllis Schlafly:
[Judge] Bunning... was nominated for his lifetime job at the age of only 34, and was confirmed because his father was a Senator, despite having inadequate legal experience and an “unqualified” rating from the American Bar Association.Kim Davis was jailed by an unqualified judge based on a Supreme Court decision that was, in Chief Justice Roberts' words, "an act of will, not legal judgment. The right it announces has no basis in the Constitution or this Court’s precedent."
Unqualified judges are putting Christians in jail for not obeying illegal unconstitutional judgments--in the opinion of the ABA and the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.
Michael,
ReplyDeleteI gather that David Bunning must be a Republican and appointed by George W Bush, otherwise you would have accused him of being criminal, moronic and an eater of newly born infants in addition to him being just unqualified for the position.
He's been in the job for at least 12 years. You don't think that he could have grown into the position? In the same way that surgeons who don't undergo continuing education could lose expertise and competence.
If he's not qualified for his position, perhaps you could provide a comparison of the percentage of his decisions being successfully appealed compared to that of other federal judges? If he's not competent, I'd expect a higher percentage of his decisions would have been overturned on appeal than other judges.
And Kim Davis was elected to her position. The previous incumbent was, big surprise, her mother. I wonder what qualifications Kim had for the position. And who is one of the deputy clerks in her office? Low and behold, her son. What qualifications did he have for the job.

DeleteShe was elected, unlike Bunning.
So was Obama. Twice.
