    Liberal Lawyer group doesn't like conservative judge. Shocking!!!!


    President Trump’s critics ignore this historic achievement. Instead, they mischaracterize the ABA’s few harsh ratings as representing the whole, an attack not rooted in the truth. The ABA’s decision to rate a nominee “Not Qualified” is often premised on its fixed requirement of twelve or more years of certain experience. In its rating letters, the ABA has conceded that several of the president’s nominees would have gotten a “Qualified” rating, but for barely missing this mark. For other nominees, such as Judge Lawrence Van Dyke — the only Court of Appeals nominee ever to have served as the highest appellate lawyer in two states within his circuit — the ABA’s process was clearly flawed.

    We need more trial judges who have never tried a case, says blob.

    ABA as liberal is laughable.

    Umm, what would you classify the ABA as on the political spectrum, HH?

    Oops! I forgot, you’re a “real Conservative”.

    Why did you flee from your thread about Washington-Idaho? Inconvenient questions you couldn’t answer?

    And by "laughable" the Dazzler means 100% accurate.

    The ABA has a history of taking liberal positions on issues including abortion, the death penalty, same-sex marriage, affirmative action, and the Second Amendment. The organization’s ideological bias has long tainted its ratings of judicial nominees. An entire book on the subject was written as early as 1965, Joel B. Grossman’s Lawyers and Judges: The ABA and the Politics of Judicial Selection. A 2006 Wall Street Journal editorial condemned the ABA’s “long history of . . . ideological sandbagging.” A 2012 Political Research Quarterly study found “strong evidence of systematic bias in favor of Democratic nominees.” Senator Ted Cruz pointed out at Wednesday’s hearing that eight of the 15 members of the ABA’s Standing Committee on the Federal Judiciary, which evaluates nominees, have together contributed at least $60,000 to Democratic candidates and related organizations, and donations to the campaigns of presidential nominees have gone exclusively to Democrats: Five members donated to Barack Obama’s campaign, three to that of Hillary Clinton, and none to the last three Republican nominees.

    The shameless pathological liar strikes again. But trust him, he'd never pad his legal bills.
