GOP senator says he'll vote against Trump judicial nominee

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) said Tuesday that he will vote against one of President Trump's most controversial judicial nominees.

According to Politico, Kennedy, who sits on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said he will not vote to confirm Brett Talley, a 36-year-old deputy assistant attorney general in the Justice Department who has never tried a case.

Kennedy told Politico that he would vote against Talley "in a heartbeat." Talley's nomination cleared the Senate Judiciary Committee earlier this month in a party-line vote.

Talley's nomination has been the subject of some controversy. He received a rare "not qualified" rating from the American Bar Association, and he has come under scrutiny for failing to disclose that his wife, Ann Donaldson, serves as chief of staff to White House Counsel Don McGahn.

1. Talk to the others in your caucus, Sen. Kennedy

It's a travesty that this unqualified yahoo got voted out the Judiciary Committee at all.

2. Party-line vote.

I guess we can start calling it Alabama-style voting. Nothing, absolutely nothing is more important than party to them anymore.
