Does it take different experience to read immigration law than say tax law? Obviously some of the terms are different but explainations are easily found. Is the experience part for determining sentence? Past rulings are available simply by asking a law clerk to research it for them. The only valid question in my mind is "Are they good judges?"

Shocking! I think when Bush makes political appointments, all he's really doing is thumbing through his voice mails looking for an interesting name. Cronyism? Shocking!

Anyone see a pattern here? If you are loyal to Bush, no matter your qualifications, you get appointed. Remember Harriat Myers? Gonzales is another good example of loyalty to Bush overriding Gonzales' experience. In the State of Texas, Gonzales was Secretary of State! Doesn't even qualify for Attorney General.

Probably not many. I can get 25 applications for 'designer' at the wife's flower shop but only 5 for someone to prep the flowers and clean the cooler. Probably has more to do with the applicant selection pool then dropping the ball on qualifications. Who wants to be an immigration judge? Probably not many.
