U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle is being hailed by the prevailing Trump wing of the Republican Party for her wisdom in striking down the CDC’s COVID-19 mask mandate on public transportation. Mizelle was 33 when then-President Trump nominated her to the federal bench in Tampa, Florida, in September 2020, and became the youngest federal judge ever. Her husband is Chad Mizelle, who was acting general counsel for the Trump administration’s homeland security council.

Responding to her nomination, the American Bar Association rated her “not qualified.”

The ABA “prefers a dozen years of practice experience and she had merely eight,” Carl Tobias, law professor at the University of Richmond (Virginia) told The Guardian. Mizelle also lacks experience in litigation and trying cases.

But Matt Schlapp, chairman of the American Conservative Union, best-known for its annual CPAC conventions, tweeted: “God Bless Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle.”
