May 29, 2025Attorney General Pam Bondi told the American Bar Association (ABA) on Thursday that the Trump administration would no longer cooperate as the organization vets its judicial nominees.In a letter, the Department of Justice (DOJ) accuses the bar association of failing to “fix the bias in its rating process,” a claim that follows the organization labeling some of President Trump’s nominees as unqualified for the bench.“Unfortunately, the ABA no longer functions as a fair arbiter of nominees’ qualifications, and its ratings invariably and demonstrably favor nominees put forth by Democratic administrations,” Bondi wrote in the letter to ABA President William Bay.
Why? Is it because they pick judges who put the Constitution before Trump & Company?
According to Ballotpedia, the ABA rated 264 of Trump’s nominees: 187 were rated “well-qualified,” 67 were rated “qualified,” and 10 were rated “not qualified.”
Though a small figure, that stands in contrast with other recent administrations, which had at most three unqualified picks during their time in office.
It makes you wonder how Trump is picking judges, is there a loyalty test?
