The ABA is NOT apolitical

I never claimed they were. The implication that I did is absurd.

BTW, when I said I highlighted her speaking before them, I meant in my first posting of the excerpt. The second time I posted that paragraph I highlighted how she used her influence in conjunction with Leonard Leo to amend the Roe V Wade endorsement.

Leo seems enthusiastic about her.

Clarify that "them" = Federalist Society

I intended no such implication - and apologize if you took it personal. The comment was meant to be taken as directed "toward Ms. Miers."

Leo seems enthusiastic about her.

That plays in my calculus. And in the spirit of the FedSoc - free and open, reasoned debate is healthy.
