Senator Schumer suggests Brett Kavanaugh is too young to be a federal judge. That’s funny. Kavanaugh is the same age (39) as was Judge Harry Edwards when he was appointed by President Jimmy Carter in 1979. Senator Schumer says Kavanaugh lacks the experience to be a judge on the D.C. Circuit, while conveniently ignoring much of his record, including his partnership in the D.C. office a prominent and prestigious law firm (Kirkland & Ellis). This is in addition to his three (3!) presitigious federal clerkships and over six years of service in the federal government, both in the Office of Independent Counsel and Office of the White House Counsel.
