The latest trick to disqualify conservatives, now that ABA ratings (a previous trick) are totally discredited.
But being a former ACLU lawyer (RBG) is just fine!

I disagree it is censorship; it is an infringement of freedom of association. An act the federal government is specifically forbidden from meddling with.

Judges and clerks MUST then also resign from the ABA, as it is primarily a radical liberal advocacy organization now. Most right thinking conservative attorneys have long ago quit supporting the ABA with their dues.

Lamenting that the drafted change leaked, Erickson also played it down as a proposal open to discussion during a 120-day comment stage, which will end May 20. So what are the proposed changes? The artcle had a lot of outrage but few actual facts. It's not like the actual text or a link would hit a hard limit on publishing space like the size of page on a newspaper.
And I doubt that the American Communist Lawyers Union will be touched.

You beat me to it.
“Rule change” can’t trump Constitution and Bill of Rights.

ACLU defended Communist traitors from domestic wiretaps but is okay with spying on the Trump campaign

...also, religious beliefs would be banned, and communist Party membership mandated.
These simple rule changes would help to weed out some of the worst threats to the revolution.

Amendment I: of the Right of the People peacefully to assemble......would seem to be of some import here.

After we retake the House, I really hope to see The House Un-American Activities Committee resurrected.

Soon reading the US Constitution and Declaration of Independence will be a felony punishable by an indefinite stay at a small facility somewhere in the Southwest that no one returns from. Ever.
