During a hearing on Friday (December 15), Donald Trump's judicial nominee, Matthew Spencer Petersen, struggled to answer basic questions about law asked by GOP Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana.

Seemingly realizing that he was unqualified for the position, Peterson stated during the hearing, "I understand the challenge that would be ahead of me if I were fortunate enough to become a district court judge."
