Summary: U.S. District Court nominee, Matthew Petersen, has withdrawn
himself from consideration after a video went viral of him failing to answer
basic legal questions during his confirmation hearing. He is the third
judicial nominee to withdraw this week after questions about competency.

Analysis: Despite
Petersen’s cringeworthy performance, the Trump administration has enjoy
relative success in getting their nominees confirmed. However, critics
point to patterns of inexperience, conflicts of interests, or apparent
nepotism among many of Trump’s selections. Comparisons might be drawn
with the presidency of Ulysses S. Grant. Will Trumpism become
the new Grantism?
I saw this on a late night tv and it was so sad. Why would he think he could take on the role of being apart of the US district court and not have any of the qualifications it takes to be apart of it?! That's just dumb.
