You are liberal. ITL is a never-Trump neo-con. Both of you literally giggle at the prospect of Trump being in perpetual trouble.

Trump Only Hires the Best People

Hey, whatever. I voted Rubio in the Minnesota caucus and when he dropped out I supported Cruz. I guess in your book that's a neo-con.
I am amused when Trump "gets in trouble", which is usually because of his incompetence, because it validates my not voting for President. Every day is a potential "I told ya so" moment.

I voted for Rubio as well but the liberal thing is easier to slap onto me I guess. Careful, you are delving into Calminian style posting and you are better than that.
I had a couple MAGA friends of mine that saw that video and were appalled. I was certain they were going to defend the guy but they didn't.

They will get over it. You think the Morons who said prayer in schools is unconstitutional and abortion is protected by The COTUS are more qualified?
You're confusing ideology with qualification. The guy has never litigated anything. He's taken statements (depositions) from less than 5 witnesses. He doesn't know his way around a courtroom. Yet he's supposed to basically referee litigation at the federal level.

No, qualification is being able to read the COTUS. My friends father was a Federal Appeals court judge appointed by Carter. He was well known as the worst attorney in town. His good friend was politically connected to extreme high ups in the Democratic party.
My point? This has happened for a long time. Nothing has changed.
I’ve never seen someone torpedo their own side of a discussion quite like that.
Were the only possible choices this guy or a liberal? Of course not. Trump could at least give us the illusion of making an effort though. This is the best we could find? Really? And I’m crazy for raising my eyebrows at the trainwreck I watched.
My point is that this guy is typical. It's not about a side. Its about the truth.
I think we can do better. Not sorry about that. Apathy is the reason things like this happen.
There are several things going on here. First, there are only a few jobs that really qualify someone to serve as a district judge: being a federal prosecutor, a lawyer licensed to practice in a federal court or an academic who has spent years and years studying case law and procedures.
Below that are state court judges who have experience with rules of evidence and defense lawyers.
Top-notch lawyers don't want to be judges because it pays less.
Peterson appears to be a bright guy, from his record, but federal judges have to know both criminal and civil procedure. He may be able to learn on the job, but at what cost? Really, if a lawyer doesn't know what a motion in limine means, some alarm bells should go off.

Uh, actually he answered every question.
My concern is that he has no judicial track record. We really don't know if he is conservative or liberal. We only have he word that he is. I would prefer to look at his rulings over a period of at least a couple years to see how he ruled and why.
Yes. The last thing I want in our pubic schools is prayer to Mary, or to Allah, or to the god of Mormonism.
If we allow any prayer we have to allow all prayer. No thanks. And, by the way, that is what COTUS says.
The only way you could do that if he were a judge at the state level (or a magistracy at the federal level). Even then, all trial-level state judges and federal judges are bound by both their state Supreme Courts and the U.S. Supreme Court decisions.
So you are left with technical competency or judicial temperament.

Thank you. The Supreme Court says that the schools may not sponsor prayers that endorse a specific religion. Why would any Baptist be opposed to that? Forcing people to pray should be anathema to Baptists, of all people.
That is the garbage the modernists want you to believe. When the drafters and ratifiers of The COTUS governed, was their prayer and Bible reading in public schools?
Guess you understand The document they wrote and ratified better than they did. They plainly gave Christianity a unique position of prominence. They wrote the document that a Court 200 years later said prohibited it. Don't buy into the revisionist nonsense. You are a much better student of history than that.
