Sen. Charles Schumer’s brother-in-law was quietly nominated this month to a federal judgeship in New Jersey — a move that has some in the Garden State crying political foul, The Post has learned.
Kevin McNulty, who is married to Schumer’s sister, Fran, was named to the US District Court by the White House late on Friday, Dec. 16. According to a boilerplate quote, President Obama believes McNulty is a “distinguished individual” who “will serve the American people with integrity and a steadfast commitment to justice.”

“... distinguished individual who will serve the American people with integrity and a steadfast committment to justice...”
Translation: He’s the best bet for an activist judge that we have.
IMHO
Or the translation could be “I have no idea WTF this dude is, but he’s related to someone owed a favor...”

87 years old? 87 years old! This country did not have 87 year old senile “Senators” prior to the 17th Amendment. We have no Senators anymore all we have are two Super Repesenatives from each state. Jesus Christ! What have we done to this country?
The Founders must be spinning in their graves.
Politicians have no shame.
Bushrod Washington - one of the worst justices ever, was the nephew of George Washington. Just saying that this sort of nepotism has been around for a long time.
OK, just read up on Bushrod and don’t know where I got the idea he was horrible but seems to have been okay. More coffeeeeee.
Why should this have “stunned” the PRNJ, the state that gave us crooked politicians like Corzine and Robert “The Torch” Torricelli?
“I have no idea WTF this dude is...”
In any event, they’re all fellow travellers.
political foul in new jersey? never.
Corruption and nepotism...the NEW America...
We have only ourselves to blame for returning these criminals to office time after time after time...
He looks familiar. I can’t find out what High School he went to.
Aides also insisted that Lautenberg was clueless about McNulty’s relationship to Schumer when he first looked at him in 2009.
“It is complete fiction to suggest that there was any deal or that Kevin McNulty was brought into the process at the last minute,” said Lautenberg spokesman Caley Gray.
My God these people really do think the people in NJ are that stupid to believe this swill
Don't insult us with these lies, just fess up and say it is what it is....
Uh...They are that stupid.
Why would a senior partner at one of New Jersey's largest law firms give up that position for a Federal judicial post that pays an annual salary of $174,000?
(And just as FYI, folks . . . someone who earns that salary would have a hard time renting an apartment in Short Hills, New Jersey -- let alone owning a home there.)
The only thing missing from his (cough, BS) biography and resume (cough, BS) is his membership number in the Communist front group - National Lawyers Guild, and if his dues are current in the ACLU.
Barry may as well just nominate Chuck the Schmuck as a federal judge and be done with it.
(1) Thank you Al Gore. I really love this Internet thing you invented and all the neat stuff one can find on it.
There's nothing new under the Sun. Except for the internet to inform of us of the nothing new stuff going on.
