The Trump administration has officially excluded the American Bar Association (ABA) from the judicial vetting process, marking a significant shift away from impartial assessments of judicial nominees. Previously, the ABA provided neutral evaluations, but the current administration has placed this responsibility into the hands of personal judgments and politically aligned groups, raising concerns about the qualifications of nominated judges. This decision reflects long-standing tensions between the administration and the ABA, which critics argue has unfairly rated judicial nominees based on partisan biases, thus compromising the integrity of the evaluation process.
The Department of Justice has severed ties with the American Bar Association, cutting its role in judicial nominations, leaving assessments to politically motivated evaluations.
Attorney General Pam Bondi informed the ABA that it would be treated like any other 'activist organization,' signaling a drastic shift in judicial vetting.
