One of President Trump’s nominees to a lifetime appointment on the U.S. District Court in Washington has withdrawn from consideration, after widely circulated video showed he was unable to answer basic questions about the law and had never tried a case in court. This is Louisiana Republican John Kennedy questioning Matthew Petersen at a Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing last week.

Sen. John Kennedy: “Have you ever tried a jury trial?

Matthew Petersen: “I have not.”

Sen. John Kennedy: “Civil?”

Matthew Petersen: “No.”

Sen. John Kennedy: “Criminal?”

Matthew Petersen: “No.”

Sen. John Kennedy: “Bench?”

Matthew Petersen: “No.”

Sen. John Kennedy: “State or federal court?”

Matthew Petersen: “I have not.”

Matthew Petersen’s withdrawal came after the Judiciary Committee rejected two of President Trump’s other nominees this month: Texas lawyer Jeff Mateer, who has called transgender children evidence of “Satan’s plan,” and blogger Brett Talley, who was rated “unanimously unqualified” for a judicial post by the American Bar Association.
