Ep. 29: Republicans Go To War With The ABA
Republicans have long grumbled that the ABA has a liberal bias, but the group\u2019s four recent rejections of Trump judicial nominees have pushed things toward open conflict. We\u2019re 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\u2019s show, we discuss a BigLaw leader who resigned after claiming on Fox News that legitimate victims of sexual harassment are \u201cfew and far between\u201d; a mistrial in Senator Bob Menendez\u2019s corruption case; and the unusual things unearthed about Trump federal district judge pick Brett Talley.
