U.S. Judge Lawrence VanDyke of Reno, NV; incompetent loser 

 

The District of Columbia provided Lawrence James Christopher VanDyke with a law license in 2005 after he graduated from Harvard University School of Law.

 

FYI: Larry has had his significant snout firmly implanted in the public trough for the past fourteen (14) years beginning one year after he graduated from law school. Apparently, no self-respecting law firm in the greater DC area was about to offer this bigoted loser a good paying job.

 

Despite having absolutely no trial and/or judicial experience of any kind, Larry was nominated by Donald “Trumporleone” to a lifetime appointment at the age of 37, meaning he’ll likely be providing worthless services to the taxpayers for the next 50 or so years.

 

In addition, the American Bar Association rated him “not qualified.” And according to his own colleagues, he is “arrogant, lazy, an ideologue, and lacking in knowledge of the day-today practice including procedural rules, and couldn’t say if he “would be fair to any litigant before him, notably members of the LGBTQ community.”

 

The most damning comments about VanDyke being unqualified were aired by Montana Sen. Jon Tester who knew VanDyke from the time he was Montana’s solicitor general, which are as follows.

 

“Let me put it this way."

“If I was looking for a contractor to work on my farm in Big Sandy and a guy comes along who has no experience ... whose coworkers think he is arrogant, disrespectful, and lazy ... who doesn’t even think himself qualified to do basic work in his chosen profession ... I wouldn’t hire this guy for a day to paint my house, let alone give him the job for life.”

 

This is what you get when the only qualification for the job is to be a compliant lackey for right wing causes and religious zealots.

 

As we speak (ca. January 2020), Larry continues to sit as a 9th Circuit Court of Appeals judge in San Francisco, California.
