		<description>Re: the WSJ and the ABA.  The ABA has a lot of explaining to do, and it&#039;s not just with respect to the rating of Wallace.

For example, how in the world did Ronnie White, a man who failed the Missouri bar the first time around, was on academic probation while in law school and who wrote a decision arguing that people who lie to their lawyers can argue on appeal that their lawyers were incompetent for believing them, merit a &quot;Qualified&quot; rating when it rated now-Judge Bunning &quot;Not Qualified&quot;?

Or how does the ABA explain Frederica Massiah-Jacksons &quot;Q/WQ&quot; rating, when her record on the bench, to be charitable, was truly bad?

Or what about the disparity between Jeffrey Sutton&#039;s &quot;Qualified&quot; rating and Eric Clay&#039;s unanimous &quot;Well Qualified&quot; rating.  Sutton&#039;s credentials clearly surpassed Clay&#039;s.

These three examples are but a few.  The ABA favors Dem nominees.  And I think that these examples need to be explained by the ABA.  Was Ronnie White overrated, yes or no?  Should the ABA&#039;s investigation have disclosed more about Massiah-Jackson?  Was Clay overrated?
