The Senate just confirmed 33-year-old Kat Mizelle, a Jones Day associate and ex-Thomas clerk, to a federal judgeship in Florida. The ABA gave her a "not qualified" rating due to lack of trial experience.

Out of Trump's young judges, she's the youngest.

6. Voting matters.

If we want to stop this shit we must win it all back. And we must win local elections which makes it difficult given the US's fetish for land.

10. Voting alone does not stop this given the makeup of our system.

Millions more voted for Democrats in the senate than Republican senators.

2. Stupid question:

What's Jones Day?

8. Another unqualified person who has been given the power of life or death over others

for the next 50 years.

9. Shouldn't SOMEBODY stand up for something?

Really, I mean the ABA!
They keep letting themselves be stood up as stooges at the alter!
WTF!!!!!!
They come to you, ABA, and "ask your advice."
You give it.
And then they do what they want, leaving you looking like a guy that paid for a "bl** job" and had the cops show up just before you reached for you zipper!

HAVE YOU NO SHAME?

They are USING YOU - and don't care!!!!!!

Oh, wait, you ARE them, right?

[Laelth]

11. What can the ABA do?

They gave their opinion. She’s unqualified, but the Republican Senate confirmed her appointment anyway. I can’t blame the ABA for that.



And, no. The ABA is not in league with the Republican Party.

12. They could refuse to comply with their request........

they could say:

You ask us for our professional opinion.
We give it to you.
You act according to what your standards are, disregarding our own opinions.
We will no longer be allowing you to use us as a validating member of your actions.

You are correct - they can't do squat!

BUT, they could show principles - and concern - and contempt for how they are being used.

There was a time when those things mattered.

13. where the fuck do they find these people?
