Senate committee to vote on Biden judicial nom criticized as 'wildly unqualified': Here's what to know
recalled the incident at a recent Judiciary Committee meeting, calling Bjelkengren "wildly unqualified."
On her Senate Judiciary questionnaire for her nomination, Bjelkengren was asked to provide details about the"10 most significant litigated matters which you handled." Bjelkengren listed six, including one case in which she lost to someone on appeal who was representing herself. Cruz cited Bjelkengren's nomination as one of several examples of what he felt were poor selections by the president, and he called on Democrats to do something about it."I would ask this committee, is there anyone — if the White House nominates a ham sandwich, are the Democrats prepared to rubber stamp Judge Ham Sandwich?" Cruz asked, noting that every Democrat had voted in favor of every Biden judicial nominee.
