It matters because Trump appointed, and the GOP Senate confirmed, a batch of federal judges who the bar association determined were Not Qualified, because they were found to be lacking in "integrity, professional competence or judicial temperament."
The past two GOP presidents have eschewed bar association recommendations entirely and instead had their judicial appointments selected by the right-wing Federalist Society.
- edgyquant 3y agoNo this doesn’t matter. The president and senate are who pick and approve the judges not the bar association.

- 1MachineElf 3y ago>It matters because Trump appointed, and the GOP Senate confirmed Minor nitpick - Judge Terry Doughty's confirmation was bi-partisan. There were 98 votes in favor, no votes against, and only 2 abstaining. Even Bernie Sanders voted in favor of the confirmation. https://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_votes/vote1152/vote_115_2_00049.htm https://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_votes/vote1...
