My point was they would be better qualified than the recent appointees. Even without judicial experience.

The special master Trump requested is calling for extra help to review the seized Mar-a-Lago documents — and will be billing Trump $500 an hour for it
District Court Judge Raymond Dearie, the special master appointed as a neutral investigator to look over the files seized in the FBI's Mar-a-Lago raid, is calling for backup.
In a filing dated Thursday, Dearie wrote that he would not seek additional compensation for serving as a special master in the Trump case. However, he asked to be allowed to hire an assistant — James Orenstein, a former magistrate judge in New York — to help in evaluating the 11,000 documents that the FBI took from Mar-a-Lago.
Dearie has until November 30 to finish reviewing the documents.
During its raid on Mar-a-Lago, the FBI seized batches of classified documents, including some marked "top secret." The Department of Justice is looking into whether Trump broke any of three federal laws — including the Espionage Act — by keeping the documents at his Florida residence.
In the filing, Dearie asked that Orenstein, who is retired, be "compensated at the hourly rate of $500."
Dearie, 78, is a former chief judge of the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York. Upon Trump's request, he was appointed as a third-party neutral investigator amid the former president's legal tussle with the FBI over the seized documents. Trump is footing the bill for the costs of appointing the special master.
According to Dearie's filing on Thursday, the expenses incurred in hiring Orenstein will be billed to Trump every month, starting October 1. In addition, the former president will be given an outline of "the hours worked and expenses to be reimbursed."
Trump's team will then have seven days to dispute the amount and seven additional days after resolving potential disputes to pay the costs in full.
"Failure to make timely payment will be deemed a violation of the Special Master's order subject to sanction pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure," the filing stated.
Trump's team has been tangling with Dearie since the latter was appointed special master.
This week, the former president's legal team appealed to Dearie to avoid turning over information about whether the documents found at Mar-a-Lago had been declassified, arguing that doing so would compromise any defense Trump has against subsequent indictments.
On Wednesday, Trump also baselessly claimed that he could have declassified top-secret documents just by thinking about doing so.
Meanwhile, Dearie has also asked Trump's team to prove the former president's claim that the FBI had planted evidence at Mar-a-Lago.

I guess what I am trying to express is that the previous administration set the bar so low that “better” is a long way from “good”.

No matter who gets nominated the Republicans are going to shit on it. Might as well really piss em off.

no, i couldn't give a flying fuck how the republicans feel about a goddamned thing. my considerations are solely for the sanity of the candidates. no fucking handmaidens, no religious zealots of any kind, i want people to have to ask about their religious preferences, because they do not brute them about as an identity, and who will never try to force their choices down anyone else's throat.
only candidates that favor really letting people make their own choices about their own healthcare, whether they are a woman, a child, a veteran...
i couldn't care less if anyone had ever heard of a single one of them before. this isn't to get even with the republicans, it's to make things right for everyone, even the fucking morons still actively trying to drill a hole in the boat we're all on

i have to wonder how hard the republicans are kicking themselves in the ass, that they stonewalled him as a justice, and now he's in charge of the DOJ, and the department of pissing in republican cheerios?

I am profoundly curious about one thing.
What in his likely progress toward multiple convictions would be good grounds for a blanket injunction blocking all fundraising? It is his superpower.

i think his superpowers were temporary, they seem to be fading.

also his super weasel powers seem to be fading, with James going forward, Georgia looking like they will as well, and the DOJ looming over every second of every day...

Former top Pence aide: Trump claim that presidents can declassify docs by thinking about it ‘absurd’
Former top Pence aide Marc Short on Friday rejected a recent claim from former President Trump that presidents can declassify documents by thinking about it, calling the notion “absurd.”
“That’s absurd, obviously,” Short told CBS News. “I think it would make it very difficult for the intelligence community to have a classification system if that was the case.”
Short, who served as chief of staff to former Vice President Pence, added that he and the former vice president did not operate on that standard.
Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity on Wednesday that presidents can declassify materials simply by “thinking about it.”
“There doesn’t have to be a process, as I understand it,” Trump said. “If you’re the president of the United States, you can declassify just by saying, ‘It’s declassified.’ Even by thinking about it.”
