Point, counterpoint, reply
Last week I noted a WSJ op-ed that discussed the American Bar Association's "hit job" on Bush appeals court nominee Mike Wallace. Today, the ABA prez Michael Greco fires back, insisting the ABA's Standing Committee on Federal Judiciary "examines only three factors in its evaluations: professional competence, integrity and judicial temperament. It explicitly does not consider a nominee's ideology or philosophy" and that, as to Wallach specifically, the committee's "evaluation is based upon the information it received from dozens of his peers, colleagues, lawyers he worked with and judges he appeared before." That and other ABA exercises, Greco argues, are strictly non-ideological.
Something of a reply by the WSJ is published today, too and delves into one example giving the lie to Greco's claims.
