Yeah, it seems like one of those foundational things. On one hand, I could see how it was a random question that he didn't really give her context into and the pressure of the moment might have gotten to her. I definitely blank out on stuff when nervous.

At the same time, he's done this to nominees for years including that Mormon Wiley Rein guy who got absolutely gaped. She should have expected it and any good judge, particularly EDNY, ought to have made the obvious decision to prepare for these questions.

President of DELTA SIGMA THETA

Although members don’t live together, Delta Sigma Theta President Jessica Clarke said the sense of sisterhood is strong. Clarke said bonds form quickly among the 12 members because they organize four public service events per week in addition to social functions.

“It’s a different type of sisterhood,” she said.

Delta Sigma Theta members’ activities range from tsunami relief drives to scholarships for high school students.

Clarke, a Weinberg senior, said she will continue to help with leadership and service programs after she graduates this year.

“It’s for the rest of my life,” she said.

I go both ways on this. On the one hand, she should probably know this shit.

ON the other hand, she probably didn't expect to be cold called on specific questions and this is all shit she can look up easily.

I actually did securities work and wrote 10b-5 letters all the time but if someone was like "QUICK WHAT DOES 10B-5 SAY" i'd probably stutter like an idiot too

absolutely wrong; ur batting out of ur league on this one.

in NY, u cant even begin the C&F process until you pass. if you take the july bar, you get the results around thanksgiving, and if you get your C&F paperwork in immediately, the earliest you can get admitted is in january. many people who procrastinate shit dont even get admitted until the summer.

there's no way she could have found out she passed the feb 2019 bar and got through C&F by 4/2/09

Even if you're a litigator who doesn't personally do appellate work, you read lots of cases, which are the results of appellate work. And those cases recite the standard of review as a matter of course.

"When I was a Trial Attorney with the United States Department of Justice, I tried one highly significant case to verdict in federal court as associate counsel. The case was litigated for over four years and involved a six-week jury trial. I worked on all parts of the litigation, including drafting the complaint, participating in drafting the government's opposition to the defendants' motion to dismiss, drafting and responding to discovery requests, taking and defending depositions, and preparing and opposing pre-trial motions in limine. I also argued the

government's opposition to the defendants' motion to dismiss. At trial, I gave the opening statement and put on and cross-examined fact and expert witnesses."

Obviously it is politics all around. I remember Trump nominating Spencer for district court. Guy got similarly reamed by Kennedy and had never tried a case or taken a deposition and said “litigation isn’t my strong suit.” He was gracious enough to withdraw after.

At least save that shit for COA judges. District court judges are largely powerless on the hot button issues (COA will just instantly stay all injunctions against politically favorable laws) so there is no need to favor politics over experience and competence in the role.

A lot of policy does get made at the district court level, at least in the aggregate. Not every important legal issue is front-page news. There's always some discretion and leeway in interpreting legislation and case law. The more stacked the judiciary is, the more it leans toward your policy goals. Right and left get that and that's why the process is more political than ever.
