Most Transparent Administration...

Another dispatch from the BLNN...

White House Gives Nod to Schumer's Brother-in-Law to Be Federal Judge
Sen. Charles Schumer's brother-in-law was quietly nominated this month to a federal judgeship in New Jersey -- a move that has some in the Garden State crying political foul, The New York Post has learned.

Kevin McNulty, who is married to Schumer's sister, Fran, was named to the U.S. District Court by the White House late on Friday, Dec. 16. According to a boilerplate quote, President Obama believes McNulty is a "distinguished individual" who "will serve the American people with integrity and a steadfast commitment to justice."
Yep. I'm sure that was a nationwide search. Most. Ethical. Administration. Ever. That's why they nominated McNulty under cover of darkness, I'm sure. Nothing to see here, it's Senator Schumer's brother-in-law, he's eminently qualified, nationwide search, distinguished panel of experts, etc. It's only pure coincidence that he happens to be Charles Schumer's brother-in-law.

I mean, it's certainly not a nod towards Schumer's power or anything, right?

That is all.

Of course he has excellent powers of judgement - he married Schumer's sister.

Besides, don't you prefer that justice be blind?
