Trump is bad.
That pretty well sum up her limitless expertise?
who do you think he'll pick as secretary of state ? and what new five supreme court justices ?
Trump has already been given a list, and since he has no personal idea who might be qualified, he will go by it.
with all due respect, Trump goes by Trump.
also why we want him instead of miss hillary.
you know Trump's sister is no rube in the justice game, fyi.

Background[edit]
Barry was born in 1937 in
New York City,
New York, to real-estate developer
Fred Trump and Mary MacLeod Trump. She is the older sister of businessman and 2016 presidential candidate
Donald Trump.
[1][2]
Barry received her B.A. in Political Science/Government from
Mount Holyoke College in 1958,
[3] an M.A. from
Columbia University in 1962, and her
J.D. from
Hofstra University School of Law in 1974.
[4] Prior to her service as a judge, she had held other public service positions, having been an Assistant
U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey.
[4]
Career[edit]
Barry was nominated by President
Ronald Reagan[5] on September 14, 1983, to a seat on the
United States District Court for the District of New Jersey vacated by
Henry Curtis Meanor. She was confirmed by the
United States Senate on October 6, 1983, and received her commission the next day.
A Republican,
[6] Barry was nominated to be a judge on the
United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit by President
Bill Clinton[5]on June 17, 1999, to replace
H. Lee Sarokin, who had retired in 1996. President Clinton in 1998 had nominated
Robert Raymar to the seat, but that nomination was never given a hearing by the
Senate Judiciary Committee, and Raymar's nomination expired at the end of that year. Clinton chose not to renominate Raymar to the Third Circuit seat during the next congressional term, and elected instead to nominate Barry.
Barry was unanimously confirmed by the
United States Senate on September 13, 1999, and received her commission on September 22, 1999. "I am deeply honored and very grateful for the nomination," Barry told the
New Jersey Law Journal in 1999. "I am surprised I was approached on it. I assume that my record is good enough as a district court judge to be reached out to, and I'm glad that politics weren't a priority here."
[7]
Barry's reputation on the bench was that of a tough judge with strong command of her courtroom.
[5] In 1989, while a district court judge in
Essex County, New Jersey, she disapproved a plea bargaining deal that would have freed two county detectives accused of protecting a drug dealer, and forced the case to trial, where the detectives were convicted and received jail terms. She also presided over the conviction of
Louis Manna, the
Genovese crime familyboss accused of plotting to assassinate rival
John Gotti.
[5]
In January 2006, Barry testified in support of the appointment of fellow Third Circuit Judge
Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court.
On June 30, 2011, Barry assumed senior status and was ultimately succeeded by Judge
Patty Shwartz.
Awards[edit]
In 2004,
Justice Sandra Day O'Connor of the
United States Supreme Court presented Barry with an award, named after Justice O'Connor, that the
Seton Hall University School of Lawgives to women who excel in law and public service. At the presentation ceremony, Barry said, "I say to the women out there, remember how difficult it was for women like Justice O'Connor starting out," adding, "Even though she graduated with top grades, she had to take a job as a legal secretary. Remember how far we have come."
