American Bar Association

Every few years I receive a call from the ABA asking if I would like to join as I did this morning. I tell them I am not interested, that I resigned my membership (while I was clerking) because the ABA has become a wing of one of the two major political parties, and not the one which usually gets my vote. As if the caller did not understand what I just said, I am then asked if I want a trial membership. I decline and that ends the call. My comments are no doubt annotated on a call sheet which will be unearthed should I ever need Senate confirmation.
