That “has never tried a case” description struck me as a suspiciously specific criticism. From the wikipedia page it does look like he has had a number of law-related jobs, although I don’t know how his qualifications stack up to a typical judicial nominee.

A potentially amusing point for anyone who thinks this nomination qualifies as some sort of cosmic horror: “in 2011, Talley’s Lovecraftian horror novel That Which Should Not Be was a finalist for the Bram Stoker Award.”

If you’ve never tried a case, you shouldn’t be a judge. Whole different ball game from whatever else someone thinks they know. I say this from experience.

Oh, man the guy’s my age! Seems young for a judge, let alone one with a lifetime appointment.
Jesus! He’s only practiced for three years! I practiced for six before switching careers. No way he should be a judge. No way. Sure, he clerked for some judges and his Harvard degree is impressive. Doesn’t mean he has the required experience to know what he’s doing in real-world situations or the empathy to understand things from the client’s POV.
That damage is going to continue for a long, long time.
