<div><strong>Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., criticized the American Bar Association on Thursday, saying it should &#8220;get a new life&#8221; in how it rates prospective federal judges, after one of his choices got a mixed review.  </strong><strong>Reid expanded his criticism to include the Supreme Court, whose makeup, he said, consists of &#8220;people who have never seen the outside world.&#8221;  HELLO HARRY.. you are totally clueless. </strong></div>
<p><strong>&#8220;I have asked President (Barack) Obama, &#8216;Let&#8217;s get somebody on the court that has not been a judge.&#8217; They need to do more than thinking of themselves as these people who walk around in these robes in these fancy chambers.&#8221;  Does Harry Reid no know we are talking about the COURT..</strong> <strong><em>A good place to have OUR best JUDGES</em>.</strong></p>
<p>The bar shares its ratings in an advisory capacity with the White House and the Senate, which votes on the nominees.  <strong>The committee considers a nominee&#8217;s &#8220;professional competence, integrity and judicial temperament.&#8221; It rates each nominee as &#8220;well qualified,&#8221; &#8220;qualified,&#8221; or &#8220;not qualified.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>Reid was set off by the ABA&#8217;s rating of Las Vegas attorney Gloria Navarro, who also appeared before the Senate committee as his choice and Obama&#8217;s nominee to become a U.S. district judge in Nevada. <strong>According to the association&#8217;s 15-member Standing Committee on the Federal Judiciary, a &#8220;substantial majority,&#8221; consisting of 10 to 13 members, rated Navarro &#8220;qualified,&#8221; while a minority rated her &#8220;not qualified.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p><strong>Based on the poor to incompetent decisions made by REID</strong>.  It might be time for him to be removed from his leadership position and set him up for a evaluation for competency.</p>
