I don’t believe Obama did any vetting of nominees, or maybe someone told him to nominate individuals and like a good dog he did
But the Republicans in the Senate did not need to rubber stamp incompetence.
Yeah, the Republicans should have insisted that the most socialist president has someone very skilled at defending socialism before the highest court.
Think before you type, please.

It kind of turns the normal process to get a security clearance upside down. There is no way these people could get a normal security clearance with it’s focus on things like communist associations. The only way is to get elected and then appointed.
You have to wonder how much stuff is going out the door directly to Castro and Chavez’s intelligence agencies directly from the government, not to mention the Chinese and Russian agencies.
