Durbin Speaks Out Against Least Qualified Judicial Nominee Of Trump's Second Term

Published | Video Starts at 00:45

You would believe that the White House, in finding a federal judge for a lifetime appointment, would be able to find among those 3,000 plus licensed attorneys in Montana, one with experience having served as a judge. Instead, President Trump selected Ms. Lane. Ms. Lane is not remotely qualified to serve as a district court judge in the federal system. That's not my opinion. That's the official finding by the American Bar Association. Ms. Lane is the first judicial nominee to receive a quote, not qualified, close quote rating from the ABA during President Trump's second term. (00:45–00:54)
