Input: A Democratic senator took to Twitter Thursday night to highlight the apparent inability of a Trump judicial nominee to answer basic questions about the law. Sheldon Whitehouse, of Rhode Island, posted video of the testimony on Wednesday of Matthew Spencer Petersen, who's currently a commissioner on the Federal Election Commission and is up for a seat on the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia 
  
 Whitehouse called attention to the video with the words "MUCH WATCH" and "Hoo-boy." 
  
 Petersen was one of five nominees testifying at the hearing. 
  
 After Spencer admitted he'd never tried a case to a verdict, Republican Sen. John Kennedy, of Louisiana, reeled off several principles of law and asked Spencer to describe them:

 Petersen's testimony came a day after the Senate narrowly confirmed one of Mr. Trump's judicial nominees despite a rare "not qualified" rating from the American Bar Association. On a party-line vote of 50-48, the Republican-led Senate backed Leonard Steven Grasz to serve on the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. 
  
 The Senate voted 50-47 Wednesday to confirm Don Willett, a justice on the Texas Supreme Court, to serve on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. Willett was the 11th federal appeals court judge to be confirmed this year. 
  
 Grasz and Willett were the 10th and 11th appellate court nominees to win confirmation during the Trump presidency. 
  
 By comparison, President Obama had three appellate court judges confirmed in his first year. 
  
 Grasz was only the third nominee since 1989 to be unanimously deemed "not qualified" by the ABA. In that time, it's evaluated more than 1,700 nominees. 
  
 Since Grasz's evaluation, Brett Talley has also been unanimously rated "not qualified." Talley was nominated to serve as a district judge in Alabama but also has never tried a case in court. 
  
 The White House said this week it would withdraw Talley's nomination and that of Jeff Mateer, who has made controversial statements about transgender children. He was up for a spot on a district court in Texas. Both faced opposition from Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, of Iowa. 
  
 So far, the ABA has rated 57 of Mr. Trump's nominees. Fifty-three came back as "well qualified" or "qualified." Four have been considered "not qualified." 
  
 Despite the two withdrawals, the president has enjoyed an excellent track record getting his conservative judicial nominees – many of them controversial – confirmed, with the backing of Senate Republicans. ||||| KENNEDY: As a trial judge, you’re obviously going to have witnesses. Can you tell me what the Daubert standard is? 
  
 PETERSEN: Sen. Kennedy, I don’t have that readily at my disposal but I would be happy to take a closer look at that. That is not something I’ve had to contend with. 
  
 KENNEDY: Do you know what a motion in limine is? 
  
 PETERSEN: Yes.. I haven’t, I’m, again, my background is not in litigation as when I was replying to Chairman (Chuck) Grassley (R-Iowa), I haven’t had to um, again, do a deep dive. ||||| Add this Tweet to your website by copying the code below. Gehiago jakin

Output:
The confirmation hearing of a judicial nominee is getting way more attention than such a hearing typically would, for the wrong reasons. Matthew Petersen is a lawyer on the Federal Election Committee, but he has no trial experience, notes the Washington Post. That fact caught the attention of GOP Sen. John Kennedy, who began asking some basic legal questions of Petersen, who has been nominated by President Trump for a lifetime seat on US District Court for the District of Columbia. Has he ever tried a jury trial? "I have not." Civil, criminal, or bench? No, no, and no. State or federal court? "I have not." HuffPo has more excerpts: Kennedy: "As a trial judge, you’re obviously going to have witnesses. Can you tell me what the Daubert standard is?" Petersen: "Sen. Kennedy, I don’t have that readily at my disposal but I would be happy to take a closer look at that. That is not something I’ve had to contend with." Kennedy: "Do you know what a motion in limine is?" Petersen: "Yes.. I haven’t, I’m, again, my background is not in litigation as when I was replying to Chairman (Chuck) Grassley (R-Iowa), I haven’t had to um, again, do a deep dive." And so on. "Don't want to beat up on the guy but the questions he was being asked could be answered by a second year law student," a Georgetown law professor tweeted after seeing a video shared by Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse captioned with "MUCH WATCH" and "Hoo-boy," per CBS News. The video shows a visibly uncomfortable Petersen recounting three years spent at a Washington law firm, which were followed by nine years at the FEC. Petersen says he oversees the FEC's litigation division but admits his background is "not in litigation" and "the path that many successful district court judges have taken has been a different one than I have taken." In his defense, the American Bar Association rates Petersen as "qualified" for the judge position. (Two nominations for federal judgeships were pulled earlier this week.)
