Judge Justin Walker, nominated for the DC Circuit, is set to become one of the youngest federal appeals judges in the country.
Judge Justin Walker wears a face mask as he sits in the sparsely attended hearing room.

Walker began his reply by noting that it’s a pending issue, but then made a point of stressing that his decision in the Kentucky church drive-in case was “narrow” and limited to the one church that sued.
