The American Bar Association (ABA) sent a letter to the leaders of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Friday announcing that it will be reopening its evaluation of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
The ABA said in the letter to Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and ranking member Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) that “new information of a material nature regarding temperament” has prompted it to reopen its evaluation.
The association said its Standing Committee does not expect to complete the process and “re-vote” before the final Senate vote on Kavanaugh’s nomination, which is slated for Saturday.
The group noted that its "original rating stands."
The American Bar Association just sent a letter to the Senate saying it's re-opening its evaluation of Kavanaugh.
During his testimony before the Judiciary Committee last week about allegations of sexual assault, Kavanaugh touted his "well qualified" rating from the ABA, its highest rating, attributing it to his “judicial temperament” while serving as a judge on the D.C. Circuit Court for 12 years.
“That's why I have the unanimous, 'well qualified' rating from the American Bar Association,” he said.
Democratic lawmakers criticized Kavanaugh’s conduct during the heated hearing, where he repeatedly questioned Democratic senators about their drinking habits when they asked him about his behavior during high school and college.
Former Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens on Thursday said he does not believe that Kavanaugh should be confirmed to the high court, saying there was "merit" to criticism of the judge's temperament after his heated testimony last week.
Earlier this month, the ABA called on the Judiciary Committee to postpone a vote on Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court until the FBI could investigate accusations of sexual misconduct against him.

Commies
Hopefully some freepers are attorneys and can speak to the issue of temperament for the bar.
Judges are jerks. With very few exceptions.
The ABA knows this — but the ABA is unabashedly leftist. And has been so for some time.
In a few hours it won’t matter what anyone says about Justice Kavanaugh. He just completed his last job interview ever.
Liberals setting the stage for his removal if they retake the House in November.
Judges who get offended at being called a serial rapist don’t have the temperament for the Supreme Court. They should know (as a leftist said yesterday) that it was “just politics”.
So easy to find examples of dem politicians who are lawyers forthing at the mouth in outrage and the ABA hasn’t, to my knowledge, ever weighed in on their “temperament”.
The ABA is irrelevant. Their “ratings” are irrelevant. They have no enforcement or regulatory authority over nominations. They can scream all they want. It’s meaningless.
Gee, wonder what their conclusion will be?
Yet the Creepy Porn Lawyer (Avenatti) isn’t on their disbarment radar, despite consistently displaying a temperament of a lunatic.
Why should the American Basketball Association care about this?
Oh for gawd’s sakes. If ANYONE here us a member of this POS organization, please GTHO
How bout investigating Avenetti, Katz, and any lawyers on Senate Judiciary?
Oh yeah, Comey et al
They can blow it out their ABAsses...
Yet no evaluation of Avanatti on the radar.
I remember the ABA. They had the red white and blue basketball.
They think he should have taken the attempted destruction with a quiet smile and true good humor. Just as the French nobility laughed and joked as they took their last ride to the Guillotine.
What an upstanding group of “Associate of the BAR”, with emphasis on the word BAR.
Well, you have 650 “Law Professors” against Kavanaugh along with the 38 “members” Commie US Council of Churches!
The ABA never called on the Judiciary Committee to delay the vote. That was the president of the ABA, in a move publically disavowed by the ABA board. Don’t know what the truth is about this latest. May just be the president showing his a** some more.
