ABA Flips on Dems, Rates Walker "Well-Qualified"

This was interesting. As Democrats on Judiciary Committee try to think of every lame reason why a hearing should not be held at all, ABA crawdads out of its earlier "unqualified" rating and backs the judge for the higher court. Now he's not only "qualified," but "well-qualified."

Does an appellate judge somehow not need to understand how trials are supposed to work? I have to say I find the "explanation" proffered here to be little more than the thinly-disguised waste product from the north end of a southbound bull.

Most likely, the typically unprincipled ABA is simply striving to mend its political fences, for the day it may have to go hat in hand to beg the feds for a bailout.
