I woulnt expect every law professional under consideration for a federal judgeship to be conversant in every detail of every case that has ever been argued. But I would expect them to at least have a firm grasp of the basic principles of the law, particularly the ones that set precedent upon which many further elaborations would later be determined, and know more about it than I do. Now because this nominee answered the questions and did so honestly when he did not have a clear enough understanding to comment, and having demonstrated his ability to cram for an exam, I will take him at his word that should he be charged with examining an unfamiliar set of circumstances, he will do his homework. Every other nominee has turned to baffle with BS when confronted with a question they could not answer. This is the first judicial nominee I have seen offered up by the current administration who I believe is worthy of a second round of questions. I suspect this guy could actually be a competent judge.

I thought this nominee did better than the vast majority. He wasn't doing that dumb stalling, 'thank you for the question, senator..." and he was not doing that weird smug non answering or flat, memorized, monotone soundbytes repeated over and over. He was to the point, polite and answered more questions correctly than any other Sen. Kennedy victims 😈. I love Sen K, but I would faint if I was on his bad side and had to answer his questions.

Employers are required to accommodate the religious beliefs and practices of applicants and employees due to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits employment discrimination based on religion. This includes refusing to accommodate an employee's sincerely held religious beliefs or practices unless the accommodation would impose an undue hardship (more than a minimal burden on operation of the business). The political question doctrine holds that some questions, in their nature, are fundamentally political, and not legal, and if a question is fundamentally political, then the court will refuse to hear that case. It will claim that it doesn't have jurisdiction. And it will leave that question to some other aspect of the political process to settle out.
