GOP Senate to confirm another Trump judge who's never tried a case

Kathryn Kimball Mizelle is the 10th of Trump's judicial nominees to be rated 'not qualified' by the American Bar Association.

On Thursday, the Senate Judiciary Committee voted to advance the nomination of Kathryn Kimball Mizelle to a federal judgeship. Mizelle is the latest in a line of judges nominated by Donald Trump who have received a "not qualified" rating from the American Bar Association.

Committee Republicans voted unanimously to present Mizelle to the entire Senate for a confirmation vote to serve on the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida, part of the Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit. No Democrats voted in favor of advancing the nomination.

According to the HuffPost, Mizelle has never tried either a civil or a criminal case.

She is a member of the Federalist Society, a legal organization with a conservative and originalist bent — a background she shares with Trump's three Supreme Court nominees.

Surely there are Republican lawyers who have stood on their hind legs in court that could be appointed to this position.

Who is going to show this new judge where she sits?
