“I have asked President (Barack) Obama, ‘Let’s get somebody on the court that has not been a judge.’ They need to do more than thinking of themselves as these people who walk around in these robes in these fancy chambers.” Does Harry Reid no know we are talking about the COURT.. A good place to have OUR best JUDGES.
The bar shares its ratings in an advisory capacity with the White House and the Senate, which votes on the nominees. The committee considers a nominee’s “professional competence, integrity and judicial temperament.” It rates each nominee as “well qualified,” “qualified,” or “not qualified.”
Reid was set off by the ABA’s rating of Las Vegas attorney Gloria Navarro, who also appeared before the Senate committee as his choice and Obama’s nominee to become a U.S. district judge in Nevada. According to the association’s 15-member Standing Committee on the Federal Judiciary, a “substantial majority,” consisting of 10 to 13 members, rated Navarro “qualified,” while a minority rated her “not qualified.”
Based on the poor to incompetent decisions made by REID. It might be time for him to be removed from his leadership position and set him up for a evaluation for competency.
