    Funny how Republicans tout the ABA's judicial rating when they like what they say and then dismiss it when they don't

        Eh. I don't think that's fair. The Republican argument is something more like "Even the liberal ABA gave our nominee a Well-Qualified rating."

        I don't think that's inconsistent with what I said

        Sure it is. You implied inconsistency, when there is none

        I get that the ABA is seen as liberal, but it seems to me one either cares about what the they say or one doesn't. If you don't value how they evaluate nominees, then why tout a positive rating?

        If one believes the ratings are biased, then a high rating for a conservative nominee is particularly notable.

        It does raise the question: if the ratings are so biased, how come they gave him such a high rating?

        Because the bias is most readily apparent at the margins (when a nominee is on the fence of WQ/Q or Q/NQ) and for lower-profile nominees. Even the ABA will give a highly qualified conservative SCOTUS nominee a WQ (today--but see Bork).

        Funny how you just let your bias show in your reporting and have been called out for it in several replies.

        That’s the Reuters takeaway from the ABA’s sterling review? 😂

        Very true. They should appropriately dismiss it under all circumstances
