The Senate just confirmed 33-year-old Kat Mizelle, a Jones Day associate and ex-Thomas clerk, to a federal judgeship in Florida. The ABA gave her a "not qualified" rating due to lack of trial experience.
Out of Trump's young judges, she's the youngest.

(16,917 posts)Really, I mean the ABA!
They keep letting themselves be stood up as stooges at the alter!
WTF!!!!!!
They come to you, ABA, and "ask your advice."
You give it.
And then they do what they want, leaving you looking like a guy that paid for a "bl** job" and had the cops show up just before you reached for you zipper!
HAVE YOU NO SHAME?
They are USING YOU - and don't care!!!!!!
Oh, wait, you ARE them, right?

(32,017 posts)They gave their opinion. Shes unqualified, but the Republican Senate confirmed her appointment anyway. I cant blame the ABA for that.
And, no. The ABA is not in league with the Republican Party.

(16,917 posts)they could say:
You ask us for our professional opinion.
We give it to you.
You act according to what your standards are, disregarding our own opinions.
We will no longer be allowing you to use us as a validating member of your actions.
You are correct - they can't do squat!
BUT, they could show principles - and concern - and contempt for how they are being used.
There was a time when those things mattered.
