Move over, Kato Kaelin. Meet America's newest goofus in the legal system, Kato Crews.
According to the Washington Examiner:
Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) backed another one of President Joe Biden's judicial picks into a legal corner after the nominee admitted to not knowing a criminal law doctrine known as a Brady motion.
Colorado Magistrate Judge Kato Crews was before the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Wednesday, where lawmakers from both sides ask questions to inquire about the qualifications of the president's nominees.
The 1963 Brady motion is one of the most basic laws of fairness in the judicial system -- mandating that prosecutors, who have a mountain of evidence to work with, cannot withhold exculpatory evidence from a defendant if they possess it and indeed have to hand it over.
Crews didn't know that?
What kind of judge would Kato-the-Unready be without this utterly basic judicial knowledge? Does this explain the kinds of lunatic legal decisions we see coming from leftist judges who reflexively side with Joe Biden no matter how wrong he is?
Crews should have known that, and what's more, he should have known he would be asked about it.
What it shows is how unfit Joe Biden's team are for any job that requires an understanding of basic, ordinary, law. Political loyalty and having the right skin color or sexual status are how these nominees get chosen, not merit, let alone anything resembling knowledge of the law. This is how it's done in Caracas..
Crews was worse than many of them because when he was caught not knowing what the Brady motion was, he tried to bee ess his way out of it, taking a wild guess that the folksy senator from Louisiana, Sen. John Kennedy, probably had gun control on his mind.

This nominee is just as stupid as our current pResident.
Slogan that works for Biden every day:
Let’s Make Better Mistakes Tomorrow.
I watched the video of his hearing a couple of days ago. His responses were pathetic. I couldn’t believe a law school graduate, much less a judge on the bench, could be so ignorant as to basic laws. Brady v Maryland is first year law student stuff. Or at least it used to be. Apparently, that’s no longer the case.
Your typical affirmative action social promotion. Probably barely cracked a book in college or law school.
It wouldn’t matter if the Biden pick for national dog catcher was competent or not as long as the DEI crowd approve of him/her/it.
That’s a libtard character enhancement
Low IQ Affirmative Action. The kind Thomas Sowell warned against.
He just needs a little remedial legal training.
Maybe that dimwit on SCOTUS who doesn’t know what a woman is could take on the ASSignment.
How embarrassing!
This has been publicly talked/ laughed about all week long.
Is this candidate still being questioned, or are they now done probing his ‘brain’?
I wonder why Kennedy asked such a basic question. Is this guy known to be a moron?
This kind of thing perpetuates the idea that some are supremier than others, and causes resentment
Would have been funny if he said, “Oh yeah, that was the ‘Tuck Rule’ game when Tom Brady fumbled against the Raiders, and then they ruled it an incomplete pass.”
Obama thought Austrian was a language
