For some time now I've been telling you about the blatantly liberal bias of the American Bar Association. Well, now a Northwestern University law professor has done a study that proves it.
Professor James Lindgren's study shows that while Bill Clinton was president, 65 percent of his nominees to the U.S. Court of Appeals who had no judicial experience received the ABA's highest rating of "unanimously well-qualified." By comparison, only 17 percent of George W. Bush's judicial nominees without judicial experience received this rating.
That's not all. Lindgren found that Bush appointees with good credentials had a 32 percent probability of receiving the ABA's highest
rating. Clinton nominees with similar credentials had a 48 percent chance of being tagged "unanimously well-qualified." Clinton nominees also had more than 10 times better odds of getting a "unanimously well-qualified" rating than similarly credentialed Bush appointees. Lindgren observed that "just being nominated by Clinton instead of Bush is a stronger positive variable than any other credential or than all other credentials put together."
Small wonder, then, that Dubya ended the ABA's traditional role of screening potential federal judges. He knew they'd be hostile to his
nominees. They're just another branch of the Democratic Party.
