10th Trump judicial nominee so inexperienced she got rated 'not qualified'

Source: American Independent



By Emily Singer -September 9, 2020 12:34 PM

The American Bar Association said Kathryn Mizelle has never tried a case and does not have the necessary experience to be a judge.

The American Bar Association on Wednesday rated one of Donald Trump's nominees to a federal district court in Florida as "not qualified" — the 10th Trump judicial nominee to earn that stamp of disapproval.

In a letter to Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Ranking Member Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), the ABA said Kathryn Kimball Mizelle does not have the experience to serve as a judge for the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, which Trump nominated her to.

Mizelle has been a practicing lawyer for a little less than eight years, far short of the 12-year minimum experience the ABA says a judicial nominee should have. Mizelle has also never tried a case, which the ABA said led a "substantial majority" of its Standing Committee members — which vote on whether a president's judicial nominees are qualified to serve on the federal bench — to determine Mizelle is not qualified to serve.

"Ms. Mizelle has a very keen intellect, a strong work ethic and an impressive resume. She presents as a delightful person and she has many friends who support her nomination. Her integrity and demeanor are not in question. These attributes however simply do not compensate for the short time she has actually practiced law and her lack of meaningful trial experience," Randall Noel, the chair of the ABA's Standing Committee, wrote in the letter to Graham and Feinstein.

But I think McGahn intervened for Kavenaugh. ( I could be wrong, of course.)

What's that saying, "Elections have consequences"?

And approval of judges and justices no longer needs 60 senators.

It's the same as removing the President. We need 67 votes in the senate. Maybe by 2024.

Or some timely judicial retirements.................

Not really too concerned with procedure at this point.

Say the lines, then we'll write the script around the dialogue. But SAY THE LINES.
