AG Bondi tells ABA it will no longer comply with ratings for judicial nominees

First on the fox On Thursday, the Ministry of Justice officially informed the American Lawyers Association that it would not correspond to the process of classifying the judicial candidates, and as a result of what it argues is a biased system and a system “always prefers democratic administrations”.

The letter, which was sent by the American Prosecutor Bam Bondi to the President of Aba William R. Bay, exclusively to Fox News. It represents another escalation in a lengthy legal battle that the Republicans have shocked against the largest association of legal workers in the country.

“For several decades, the American Lawyers Association received a special treatment and enjoyed a special access to judicial candidates,” Bondi said in the letter. “In some departments, ABA received a notification of the candidates before announcing a nomination for the public.

The Ministry of Justice said in the letter that it will not give ABA “special transaction” and the first arrival it has received for years.

“Accordingly, while ABA is free to comment on judicial nominations alongside other active organizations, there is no justification for treating ABA differently from these other active organizations and the Ministry of Justice will not do so.”

It also finished the legal policy office, which directed judicial candidates to provide exemptions, allowing ABA to access the non -general information of the candidates, including the bar records.

“The candidates will also not respond to the questionnaires prepared by ABA and will not sit for interviews with ABA,” Bondi said.

The Trump administration’s decision to spoil ABA from the judicial nomination process comes after he told many members of the Republican Senate at the Senate Committee in charge of checking the judicial candidates in ABA in a letter earlier this year that they intend to ignore their classification system.

ABA, which was established in the late nineteenth century, has grown to become a sprawling organization that narrates more than 400,000 legal workers.

But it has caused criticism from the Republicans, including members of the Judicial Committee of the Senate.

senator Mike Lee, R-r-Utah, previously criticized ABA as a “radical left-wing invitation group”.

He and others in the committee had previously assumed the goal of the group to adopt the so -called “waking initiatives”, including its heavy use of diversity, fairness, inclusion or Dei efforts, in many aspects of its work.

This is not the first time that republican administrations have been broken with ABA. The George W. Bush administration has ended the practice of giving ABA a first look at the candidates, as Trump did this in his first presidential term.
