A second of President Trump’s judicial nominees has been deemed “not qualified” by the American Bar Association, Politico reported.
Leonard Steven Grasz, who was nominated by Trump to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, reportedly received a unanimous “not qualified” rating from the association’s standing committee, which had one abstention.
The committee notified the Senate Judiciary Committee of the rating in a letter obtained by Politico.
“The Standing Committee confines its evaluation to the qualities of integrity, professional competence, and judicial temperament,” the letter reads.
Grasz, a senior counsel at a firm in Omaha, previously served as the chief deputy attorney general for the state of Nebraska.
Charles Goodwin, Trump’s nominee to a district court in Oklahoma, was also rated as “not qualified.”
