GOP advances ultra-conservative Trump judicial pick who has almost no legal experience

Justin Walker, Trump's latest judicial nominee, has no real experience practicing law, but that won't matter to the GOP.
Another unqualified Donald Trump judicial pick, Justin Walker, is making his way through the Senate.
Given the makeup of the Senate and the GOP's unyielding commitment to agreeing to any of Trump's nominees, no matter how unfit, there's every reason to believe he'll be confirmed. His nomination just cleared the Senate Judiciary Committee with unanimous support from the GOP in spite of his lack of qualifications.
Walker, who Trump nominated to the federal bench for the Western District of Kentucky, is only 37 years old, which means he could be on the federal bench for 40 years or more. He doesn't bring any real experience to the court, but he does bring modern conservative credentials: He was instrumental in discrediting Dr. Christine Blasey Ford during the confirmation hearings for Justice Brett Kavanaugh. During those hearings, Walker did over 70 media hits to defend Kavanaugh and attack Ford.
His defense of Kavanaugh isn't surprising. Walker clerked for Kavanaugh when he was still on the D.C. Circuit and then went on to clerk at the Supreme Court for Justice Anthony Kennedy. That might sound impressive on its face, but Walker didn't really ever practice law after his clerkships.

This jerk has no experience and has not "served as sole or chief counsel in any case tried to verdict or judgment."
But, But, ................... he sat in a seat and said nothing while being associate counsel at only "one federal criminal jury trial".
