The American Bar Association will no longer review its "well qualified" rating of Justice Brett Kavanaugh now that the Senate confirmed him, an ABA official told CNN Monday.

The official, who declined to speak on the record, cited an ABA policy of ending its rating process once a nominee is confirmed.

"Per the published policy and historical practice of the Standing Committee on the Federal Judiciary, once a justice or judge is confirmed, the Standing Committee's rating process is closed," the ABA's website states.

The group had previously said that because of the allegations against Kavanaugh of sexual assault and conduct during his September 27 Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, it would reevaluate its rating. Kavanaugh has denied the allegations against him.

4. Some clarifications there

How many are Federalist Society members

Not that many. It's useful to note that some of Trump's nominees have actually received "not qualified" ratings (despite the fact that the Federalist Society loved them).

That is just fucked up that the ABA end's its rating once the nominee gets confirmed

That's a reasonable position... but try to remember who these people are. It's essentially the trade/professional organization for attorneys - a bunch of whom have a clear incentive not to tick him off (since he's now at the top of the food chain).
