Ep. 29: Republicans Go To War With The ABA

Republicans have long grumbled that the ABA has a liberal bias, but the group’s four recent rejections of Trump judicial nominees have pushed things toward open conflict. We’re joined by senior reporter Michael Macagnone to talk us through the growing showdown over the role the ABA plays in picking judges. Also on this week’s show, we discuss a BigLaw leader who resigned after claiming on Fox News that legitimate victims of sexual harassment are “few and far between”; a mistrial in Senator Bob Menendez’s corruption case; and the unusual things unearthed about Trump federal district judge pick Brett Talley.
