So to say that Trump’s sister is ‘qualified’ because she was an appellate court judge is nonsensical.

Well, It nonsensical only in a largely irrelevant and absurdly reductionist way similar to saying prior experience with arguing or adjudicating potentially constitutional issues, or even prior familiarity with the constitution in a legal sense, forms a practically necessary qualification for Supreme Court justice Would have been nonsensical in some absurdly reductionist view.
Fair point. I’ll change it to ‘no formal qualifications’.
