Another day,

another nominally neutral, liberal organization comes out of the closet as a nakedly partisan organization.

I have a bias on this. I hate bar associations almost as much as I hate CLE programs. I hate the self-congratulatory tone of their get-togethers and the hypocrisy of having committees to study delivery of legal services to the poor, when it's more often the middle class who need them. I hate the greed of the Trial Lawyers masquerading as altruism and the arrogant power grabs of the courts, and their handing out political victories in the name of civil liberties. At least, the ABA is now being forthright.
