Welcome Your Newest Federal Judge, It's This Batsh*t 33-Year-Old Who Will Live Forever

This lady was rated as "not qualified" by the ABA and was confirmed after the election. The Federalist Society had ran out of qualified candidates and so TFG and MoscowMitch confirmed this idiot before Joe was sworn in



https://www.wonkette.com/33-year-old-federal-judge

Just because Trump has been voted out of office doesn't mean he's going to stop fucking everything up for decades to come.
Yesterday, a 33-year-old woman who has never tried a case was given a lifetime appointment to the federal bench. She has only been out of law school for eight years.

Kathryn Kimball Mizelle, wife of Trump stooge Chad Mizelle, graduated college in 2009 and law school in 2012. She has practiced law for a total of four (4) years.

Now, she is a United States District Court judge for the Middle District of Florida.

The lame duck Senate confirmed Mizelle on Wednesday, by a party-line vote of 49 - 41.

With this confirmation, Mitch McConnell upended a 123-year-old Senate tradition of declining to confirm appointments by a president who lost reelection.

Laurence Tribe
@tribelaw
She did it without even an oral argument! No wonder she earned a really rare ABA rating of “unqualified” to be a federal judge. Her opinion is a shambles, filled with unsupported medical claims as though she were an expert in fields about which she knows even less than about law!

Courts, human rights, voting rights, women's rights, citizen's united, fairness doctrine...& more.

Only one saw this coming & her warnings were ignored, shouted over, mocked.

Why?
You're either for this or against it.
There was no other choice.

@DempseyTwo
Do you remember when I told you about Chad Mizelle from DHS being hired for Jared’s Affinity investment thing where got the $2B from the Saudi’s? Remember how I said his wife was a federal judge and how she was deemed ‘not qualified’? 🤦🏼‍♂️👇🏻

No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen
@NoLieWithBTC
This is Kathryn Kimball Mizelle. She is a Federalist Society judge who worked for Clarence Thomas. The American Bar Association said she is unqualified to hold office, but Republicans confirmed her anyway after Trump lost.

She just ruled the CDC can’t require masks on planes.

This GD judge should NOT get the final say here. I wish they would appeal so she loses her ass.

MASKS. I assume a private company has the write to set conditions.

It's usually followed by crazy and always directed at women.

As for the judge, she sounds horrible.

Has Clarence Thomas returned to work yet?
Or is he still in hiding.
