I'm honestly surprised this hasn't made the board, yet. This 36 year old was nominated for a seat on the federal bench having never tried a case at all (which there was an Obama nominee that had never tried a case before, which was also ridiculous, though she was practicing longer than Mr. Talley who has only been practicing for three years) and was unanimously regarded as unqualified for the position by the American Bar Association. He made it out of committee on party lines.
It has also come forward that he failed to disclose his wife if the CoS for WH Counsel, a position which could present a rather serious conflict of interest.
I've got to say, not just with regard to Mr. Talley but for Judge Freudenthal as well, why are we putting people on the bench that have no experience as a judge? It just seems to me like experience on the state level as a judge should be a minimum qualification.
