      FYI, the ABA's secret evaluator here is Marcia Davenport. https://crowleyfleck.com/biography/marcia-davenport/ … The letter fails to mention that she may have a political ax to grind. She donated to Lawrence VanDyke's political opponent in the 2014 Montana Supreme Court race. https://appecm.mt.gov/PerceptiveCPPCampaignReports/APP/connector/0/0/url/321Z16M_01EK71N89001D16.pdf ….

      No court has ever reprimanded VanDyke. Who are these 60 individuals who the ABA claims they interviewed? What did they say? Recordings? Transcripts? Notes? Reports? Who was the second reviewer? Why didn't this person contact VanDyke? Will the ABA release this secret evidence?

      The ABA letter falsely claims that Lawrence VanDyke "would not say affirmatively that he would be fair to any litigant before him, notably members of the LGBTQ community." In fact, he flatly told the secret ABA evaluator (Marcia Davenport) that he would be fair to all litigants.

      And according to the ABA's own website, Lawrence VanDyke represented the group "Gays and Lesbians for Individual Liberty" in an amicus brief filed with the Supreme Court of the United States back in 2010: https://www.americanbar.org/content/dam/aba/publishing/preview/publiced_preview_briefs_pdfs_09_10_08_1371_PetitionerAmCuGLIL.pdf …

      The ABA's political drive-by shooting of Lawrence VanDyke -- literally on the eve of his confirmation hearing tomorrow morning -- feels a lot like what they attempted (and failed) against Judge Steve Grasz on the Eighth Circuit: https://www.c-span.org/video/?462242-3/washington-journal-mike-davis-discusses-pres-trumps-judicial-nominees&start=1803 …

      Here are the 2 bottom lines: (1) The ABA is a liberal dark-money group, fronting for trial lawyers who donate millions of dollars to Democrat politicians.

      (2) The ABA's evaluation of nominees is fatally flawed, as it is intentionally structured to couple liberal activists (like Marcia Davenport) with a subjective, black-box process that oftentimes results in unfair hits on conservative judicial nominees (like Lawrence VanDyke).

          .@senjudiciary should refer this matter to @TheJusticeDept to determine whether the ABA, including its evaluator Marcia Davenport, provided materially false statements to Congress, a felony in violation of 18 U.S.C. Section 1001 State bars should also open ethics investigations

          All 53 Senate Republicans rejected the liberal @ABAesq's political nonsense, voting to push Lawrence VanDyke over the last Senate procedural hurdle. The Senate will confirm Lawrence VanDyke to the 9th Circuit this week, making him President @realDonaldTrump's 50th circuit judge.

          This week, President @realDonaldTrump will have appointed 10 of 29 active judges on the 9th Circuit. The once-out-of-whack 9th Circuit (+11D) is within reach of "flipping" to majority-R appoint (+3D) after the President's re-election. @Article3Project: http://JudiciaryTracker.com

          Congrats to Judge Lawrence VanDyke, President @realDonaldTrump’s record-breaking 50th circuit judge confirmed by the Senate. Judge VanDyke is exceptionally qualified — and will help bring sanity to the 9th Circuit. And bonus: the @ABAesq’s political drive-by shooting backfired.

          ”VanDyke is unquestionably qualified to serve on the Ninth Circuit. Yet, the liberal American Bar Association (inexplicably) claimed that he was ‘not qualified’ to serve, a political drive-by shooting timed on the eve of his confirmation hearing.”
