Is it a professional organization of attorneys to aid in the practice of law, or is it a political organization to aid certain political beliefs? It has apparently abandoned its original role and decided to advance its liberal agenda. It once decided the military could not interview potential JAGS at law schools since the military followed federal law and discriminated against gays (while the military can now interview on campus, most Christian churches could not). It has taken positions in favor of abortions and against death penalties.

Does the ABA really think that the Justice Department needs its help? This is the type of hyper political activity by the ABA that I find offensive.
