At one time a POTUS asked ABA for judge recommends. T only asked Federalist Soc and--
T only asked Federalist Society and Heritage Foundation.
IIRC the Federalist Society was founded by a group that was convinced the ABA was way too liberal.
In some administrations, whenever the ABA submitted a list of 'vetted' lawyers, the Federalist Society howled 'liberal' and presented a list of 'trueAmericans' who alone should be considered.
