Judicial Crisis Network Chief Counsel and Policy Director Carrie Severino released the following statement today:
“Nobody expected the judicial evaluation committee at the ABA to repudiate its liberal bias, but they’ve really outdone themselves this time. The evaluators’ fawning admiration for Merrick Garland is so over-the-top that even the Washington Post had a hard time taking it seriously. Considering the ABA’s long track record of systematically inflating the ratings of Democratic nominees, bending over backwards to undermine Republican judicial nominees and especially minorities, and vocal support for the liberal agenda, the outcome of this ‘evaluation’ was never really in doubt.”
