Senate Confirms Trump Court Pick Rated ‘Not Qualified’ To Be A Federal Judge

WASHINGTON – Senate Republicans voted Tuesday to confirm Katie Lane to a lifetime federal judgeship in Montana, despite Lane earning a rare and embarrassing “not qualified” rating by the American Bar Association — the first of President Donald Trump’s court picks to be confirmed with this rating in his second term.

Lane was confirmed 52 to 46, along party lines. The 34-year-old lawyer, who most recently served as senior legal counsel at the Republican National Committee, will now serve on the U.S. District Court for the District of Montana.

The ABA for decades has rated the professional qualifications of hundreds of federal judicial nominees for presidents in both parties. Prior to Trump’s presidency, it was very unusual for the nonpartisan legal organization to evaluate someone as “not qualified” for the job. None of President Barack Obama’s or Joe Biden’s judicial nominees got this rating, nor did President George H.W. Bush’s or Ronald Reagan’s picks.

Ten of Trump’s 234 judicial nominees in his first term were rated “not qualified,” but Republicans went on to confirm eight of them anyway.

Lane, who previously served as deputy solicitor general under Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen and as an associate at Consovoy McCarthy PLLC in Virginia, earned the abysmal rating due entirely to her lack of experience: She has only practiced law for about nine years, well below the ABA’s 12-year minimum standard. She has less than eight years of experience in trial courts and less than seven years as a litigator. She has never tried a case as lead counsel, whether civil or criminal.

No. As a veteran, I prefer to support the rights I defended. I don't need to be celebrated. I already have everything - lielong friends, a bunch of great stories, a free education, universal healthcare, a pension, cheap movie tickets and a bunch of annoying people constantly thanking me for my service. I'm good.

May is National Military Appreciation Month. It was established as such before June was recognized as Pride Month. It is meant to celebrate all past and present members on the military. In addition, veterans have Veteran's Day in November. As RWR says, as a veteran, I don't need to be celebrated. I'm an old, straight, white guy; but, I served to protect everyone equally. And, I use my voice to speak out against racism and bigotry of all kinds. I believe everyone should be equal. I don't care if you're black, white, brown, yellow, red, or pink with purple and green polka dots. I don't care if you're gay, straight, transgender, or non-binary. I don't care if you can trace your American ancestry back 10 generations; or if you were the first in your family born a US citizen; or even if you just arrived here. I don't care what "God" you pray to; or if you don't pray to anyone. The only thing I'll judge you on is ignorance; especially willful ignorance. The idea of the United States of America was, and should remain, one of a melting pot, where ALL people are created equal. A long time ago, I took an oath to defend the Constitution of this nation, and I still hold to that oath.

And laws should be instituted that all candidates running for office disclose their taxes and that nobody convicted of a felony can hold a political office or be a member of the judiciary
