(Picture - Statement by the ABA from ~2 months ago)
This announcement is an undeniable example of partisan framing and institutional activism (even of you agree with most of the claims-they’re all disputed and controversial, and political).
The same people who would claim that the ABA isn’t a captive to progressives will applaud statements like this.
Their ideological lens is so dark that they cannot see the middle ground, the independent tendency, the unbiased approach. A vast number of experts and professionals fall into this category. They’re so certain that they’re right that they feel no need to be careful, or kind, or fair.
