Well, one is because the Bush Regime is ever secretive and if it can manage to appoint an asshole judge to the federal bench without anyone knowing, it will do it. Secondly, the problem with Puryear stems from the death of a Black woman and as well know, no one gives a shit about that. In fact, he enjoys bipartisan support. I'm not sure what makes him qualified outside of the fact that he is a loyal Republican (donor), but what I am sure of is this: the death of Estelle Richardson was murder and Gus Puryear did everything in his power to deny her and her family justice.
Estelle was killed while in custody of a private prison in Tennesee. She found herself in prison after losing jobs and relocating to another state to find a better life for her and her family. She made some wrong turns and ended up involved in drugs. Her life went downhill from there and she landed in prison. She was misdiagnosed and overdrugged on anti-depressants. She was isolated from the other inmates, refused medical treatment for injuries inflicted by prison guards and one day she was found dead. When her family tried to bring civil suit against the four guards held in her murder, they were blocked at every step by Gus.
And now Bush wants to make him a federally appointed judge. Nice. Read here for more reasons why he is an asshole and not fit for the bench.
