An adult thought this was a worthy opinion piece.

Can the ABA make a proper determination since it is a radical leftwing organization now?

Such a laughable article. Dems appointed a bunch of federal judges who think they run the country. Of course Trump's candidates are bad compared to such ardent supporters of Marx

I would rate the Hill as Center to Center Left, so I don't put a lock of stock into what they write. I will agree that the primary feature of all Trump appointees seems to be loyalty, which leads to some very poor choices, like Kristi Noem and Bill Pulte. On the other hand, his more important choices, like Rubio and Hegseth, have been great.

Elections are when people find out what politicians stand for, and politicians find out what people will fall for.

Your most recent SCOTUS appointee is completely baffled and bewildered when asked what a woman is. Any democrat pointing and laughing at anything is laughable.

LOL this genuinely made me laugh. She is the biggest mouth breathing idiot to ever serve at such a level. It's almost unbelieveble how bad she is. A complete DEI hire. Dumb as a box of rocks and horribly unqualified.

Loyalty to the sitting president who appointed you should be a priority, and I'm not sure why this is not understood? Imagine leaders appointing people who acted against their best interest.
