Leftists online were not pleased with U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle for <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-federal-judge-in-florida-voids-bidens-national-mask-mandate-at-airports-planes-public-transit">voiding</a> the Biden administration&#8217;s mask mandate on public transportation on Monday.
The Trump-appointed federal judge called the mandate &#8220;unlawful&#8221; and vacated the requirement, <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/who-kathryn-mizelle-trump-appointed-judge-who-struck-down-mask-mandate-1698705">writing</a>, &#8220;Because our system does not permit agencies to act unlawfully even in pursuit of desirable ends, the court declares unlawful and vacates the mask mandate.&#8221;
Immediately, leftists complained Mizelle, 35, was unqualified for her position and commented on her age.
Rolling Stone ran with the headline, &#8220;<a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/kathryn-kimball-mizelle-trump-judge-voids-mask-mandate-1339427/">Trump-Appointed Judge Deemed ‘Not Qualified’ by Bar Association Voids Mask Mandate on Planes, Other Travel</a>.&#8221;
Notably, the ABA, or American Bar Association, has routinely been accused of having an extreme <a href="https://www.courthousenews.com/senate-scours-american-bar-association-liberal-bias/">liberal</a> bias.
Podcast host Brian Tyler Cohen posted a photo of Mizelle and echoed that she was unqualified for her position, complaining that Republicans &#8220;confirmed her anyway.&#8221;
&#8220;This is Kathryn Kimball Mizelle. She is a Federalist Society judge who worked for Clarence Thomas. The American Bar Association said she is unqualified to hold office, but Republicans confirmed her anyway after Trump lost,&#8221; he wrote. &#8220;She just ruled the CDC can’t require masks on planes.&#8221;

Ron Filipkowski, who claims to &#8220;track and report&#8221; on Right-wing media, posted a photo of the judge with Associate Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, seemingly as a complaint.

&#8220;Since 1989, the American Bar Association has assessed federal judicial nominees for consideration by the Senate. Of the 1,400 or so nominees assessed, just 22 have been rated &#8216;not qualified,'&#8221; said Left-wing activist Charlotte Clymer. &#8220;Kathryn Kimball Mizelle, who just struck down the flight mask mandate, is one of them.&#8221;

&#8220;I honestly think there&#8217;s a lot of room for respectful disagreement and discussion between rational adults on where and when to wear a mask, but not when it comes to commercial air travel,&#8221; Clymer added. &#8220;You&#8217;re around 200 strangers in a tight, enclosed space for hours. It&#8217;s common sense.&#8221;

Mizelle&#8217;s age seemed to be an issue, too. &#8220;FYI, the Florida federal judge who just threw out the airline mask mandate, 33-year-old Trump appointee and Federalist Society member Kathryn Kimball, never tried a case in court and was declared &#8216;Not Qualified&#8217; to be a judge by a majority the [ABA]’s vetting committee,&#8221; Kurt Andersen commented.

Fox News host Laura Ingraham made a general sarcastic comment about Mizelle&#8217;s ruling and the Left&#8217;s reaction. &#8220;I look forward to all the stories about how The Hon.

Mizelle, a Florida native born in 1987, earned her law degree from the University of Florida in 2012, a profile from 10 Tampa Bay WTSP <a href="https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/regional/florida/judge-kathryn-kimball-mizelle-airport-maks-mandate/67-a07d6c1f-3e8f-45cd-bc4f-60109ea4b917">outlined</a>. After college, she clerked for several federal judges, including Justice Thomas, before working in the private sector.
In 2020, then-President Donald Trump tapped Mizelle for a seat on the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida. The liberal-leaning ABA sent a letter to a collection of senators claiming the judge was &#8220;not qualified&#8221; for the position.
Though others, including Florida Sen. Marco Rubio (R), sang Mizelle&#8217;s praises.
<div class="article__section article__section_type_text utility__text">
“Almost two years ago I enthusiastically pushed Judge Mizelle to be a district court judge,&#8221; Rubio posted to Twitter on Monday. &#8220;Today she issued a common sense decision that makes me especially proud that I did.&#8221;
The senator captioned a statement he posted about Mizelle back in August 2020. &#8220;I am pleased the President nominated Kat Mizelle to serve as a federal district court judge for the Middle District of Florida,&#8221; Rubio said. &#8220;Mizelle is a highly qualified nominee having served in various legal roles both in the public and private sector.&#8221;
