When we say Mizelle is one of the least capable judges in America, it’s imperative that we come with receipts. It’s not enough to cite the circumstances of her nomination or the expert opinion of the ABA; we need to carefully consider the quality of her work. Friends, it’s real bad.
Yesterday, she declared the False Claims Act qui tam provision unconstitutional. The law has been on the books since ABRAHAM LINCOLN signed it into law and existed as a concept dating back to the Middle Ages as described in the English common law treatises that conservative judges usually love to cite.
Mizelle was 33 years old and could extend the deadhand influence of a one-term popular vote loser for 50 years! So Mizelle landed a district court nomination while still serving as a Biglaw associate. The ABA pointed out that she was wholly unqualified for the job, but as this was a feature rather than a bug for Trump nominees down the stretch, the Republican Senate approved her anyway.
