The ABA has historically been a rubber stamp for judicial appointments. They never had all that much power to begin with. Did the ABA stop Clarence Thomas or Samuel Alito from taking the bench? What about Stuart Kyle Duncan or James Ho? Who have we actually been spared? Hell, how many members of the ABA are in the Federalist Society?
This isn't a change in policy, its a continuation minus the fig leaf of academic approval.
Just because it’s been flouted in the past doesn’t make getting rid of it a good thing. The ABA is an excellent input into whether a judge or lawyer should be approved. Removing it is an explicit way to limit criticism that should be part of the record.
