US Politics/2016 Election Pick Your Poison Master Thread

[ChaimMoskowitz]

We didn't hear you complaining about her being disqualified.

So that makes Trumps moronic pick ok?

It means that your complaining now has nothing to do with whether or not it is moronic but rather has to do with your disliking Trump. Is it really disqualifying? Of course now you will say it is, but you probably would have defended the same thing about Kagan.

So if you dislike someone that disqualifies you from commenting on the individual?

What don't you try to make a competent case for this idiotic pick? You can't, case closed!!!

Why does lack of experience in litigation disqualify?

He doesn't know basic concepts of law. Again try and make a case for him instead of asking deflecting questions.

Oh, ok.

Well, here's how this works. Nobody knows all the basic concepts of law, because it's too big.  People know basic concepts in certain areas, some people know more and some people know less.

It takes a one semester class in law school to learn the basic concepts of civil procedure, and then  you immediately forget it, unless you become a litigator. 

When a non-litigator, such as Elena Kagan, becomes a judge, they just need to quickly read through one of the study guides on 1L civil procedure.

Are these really such basic concepts of law? You are not understanding. I am asking you to back up the premise and you have not yet done so. Until then there is no case needed.

He was asked about basic concepts of law that he will be using in everyday decisions. He knew none of them. You have yet to give any qualifications for him. Please join the whole henche as dug. I am sure he has room for you.

All you are doing is repeating that they are basic concepts but  repeating it again does not make it the case. It is the premise I am questioning not the conclusion.

You keep trying to deflect. Lets agree you disagree with everything I said. You have yet to say why he is qualified!!! Either put up or join henche in his hole that he has dug.

How am I supposed to know about the qualifications of judicial nominees for district courts? Maybe he is truly unqualified. You are saying that it is a disgrace that he was nominated. I am asking you to back up your statement and you have yet to do so. I am not the one deflecting, you are. All I did was ask question on what you wrote.

[aygart]

I am sure that liberals feel the same about conservatives. They are both right.

I did back it up. You just don't agree. If someone doesn't understand what 1+1 is I don't want him ruling on math questions.

All you do is ask questions to try and defend Trump. You almost never answer questions because you have no answer. Now either put up or shut up. Better yet go trolling somewhere else!!! 

In case you missed it:

[aygart]

All I asked is for you to show that these are basic legal concepts that he needs to know to be qualified and you keep deflecting. You have not backed up the statement you keep repeating that these are basic concepts. I am no lawyer so I do not know whether they are or aren't. I definitely would not be overly concerned over him not knowing the latin term for it. Are they really 1+1? You keep going with that assumption but I do not know that it is the case. The question is not whether or not he was able to answer them but whether or not they are so basic as you are describing them.

Let me ask you this. Why is the R senator on the committee asking him those questions if they aren't relevant? I'd understand if it was a D senator, you'd be brushing it off saying they're trying to get the nominees on anything, relevant or not. But that's not the case here.

@ChaimMoskowitz respond to this or the next round of milts is on  you

So if I link a legal expert who says they are basic concepts you will then shut up?

They may be relevant yet not in and of themselves disqualifying. Meanwhile @henche is the only one here who wrote anything from a legal perspective. I am not a lawyer to know whether they are disqualifying or not. I know that while I may not be familiar with every aspect of my field I have the tools to find out when needed. Does he? Is that enough? Maybe, maybe not. If it is enough then while relevant, it is not disqualifying.
