You can’t escape genetics.
Senate Judiciary Committee Republicans last week unanimously approved judicial nominee Brett Talley, a guy so unqualified that he has never even argued a case in a court of law. But hey, he says all the right things like pledging loyalty to the NRA after Sandy Hook. No worries that he didn’t disclose on his Senate questionnaire that his wife, Ann Donaldson, is the chief of staff to the White House counsel, Donald F. McGahn II. The White House counsel’s office—where Donaldson is the chief of staff—is the office in charge of picking judicial nominees.
It’s what Rupublicans call draining the swamp. Like having an Eli Lilly executive running HHS.
I read arts of his blog. Based on what I read, every one who writes or commits on this very site with a law degree (regardless if you took the bar or not) is more qualified to be a judge then he is. Noway knows more about the workings of fire arms and how gun regs work then Tally, which most likely makes Noway more qualified on the one set of laws Tally ‘knows’ enough to make a ruling over. I know more about contractual law, construction, federal labor rules and k-12 education rules then this man. I say a good number of us know the basic concepts of law better then he does based on what he said in his committee hearing.
Thus I ask, how this is man anointed to a lifetime on a federal bench going to achieve MAGA?
Only the best—It starts at the top.
How we got here….

And “thank God” also for vigilantes who take it on themselves to mete out punishment for a person fleeing a hit-and-run auto accident? Thus endangering themselves and possible bystanders.

LMAO! A father likely prevented a horrific act against his child and you two are recoiling from the word “God.” Andew, I expect this from. Will, not so much…
Norway, why are you still here. There is nothing left here but big government and socialism. This site is dying, it’s time to move on.
As the only conservative point of view 99 percent of the time, The Libs need me…Where do you go these days to engage ? Maybe I could do double duty?!
