Republicans Confirm Another One Of Trump’s Unqualified Court Picks
The Senate spent Wednesday afternoon confirming Kathryn Kimball Mizelle to a lifetime seat on the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida. Every Republican present voted yes. Every Democrat present voted no.
Mizelle, 33, earned the ABA’s embarrassing “not qualified” rating because of her lack of experience. She doesn’t meet the ABA’s requirement that a nominee to a lifetime federal judgeship have at least 12 years of experience practicing law. Mizelle has been practicing law only since 2012, which the ABA notes is “a rather marked departure” from its standard.
She has also never tried a case ? civil or criminal ? as lead attorney or co-counsel.
Mizelle is Trump’s 10th court pick to get the “not qualified” rating, an exceptionally high number for a president. None of President Barack Obama’s court picks got the rating in eight years. Six of President George W. Bush’s nominees earned the rating in his two terms.
Talk about court-packing...

She was voted 49-41 in favor. I guess none of the 41 democrats were present?

Why is the Senate not working on relief package? All they have done, it seems, is work on court appointments.

Seeing people on food lines in what we are told is the best country in the world is so depressing. Heartbreaking. We need an entire overhaul.
