And being a good Rep is more than toeing the Medtronic line. Easy agenda? Yeah. But there's more to the job that the individual needs to understand and master. Critiquing his betters is not helpful.
UPDATE: The twit should know better. And stand back, once knowing better. This link, this excerpt:
A spokesman for Franken said this week that the Democratic senator is still reviewing Stras' "lengthy record" before giving his approval, faulting the White House for putting Stras' name forward without consulting his office about possible candidates.
"Rather than discuss how senators traditionally approached circuit court vacancies or talk about a range of potential candidates, the White House made clear its intention to nominate Justice Stras from the outset," spokesman Michael Dale-Stein said.
Stras is a former law professor who clerked for U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. Stras declined to comment on his pending nomination through a Supreme Court spokesman on Thursday.
Klobuchar signaled greater concern about the state's vacant U.S. Attorney position. The state's former U.S. Attorney Andrew Luger, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, resigned in March at Trump's request. No permanent replacement has surfaced.
"We need a name from the White House," Klobuchar said. "If it goes on another 2 months, I'll say I'm mad."
Stras has shown ambition, but the Circuit Court seat might demand more. In any event, it is none of Paulsen's business.
