The American Bar Association (ABA) has strongly criticized U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi's decision to limit the ABA's role in evaluating President Donald Trump's judicial nominees. The ABA described the Department of Justice's move as "deeply disturbing" and based on incorrect information, marking the first time in seven decades that the organization has been restricted from accessing information about judicial nominees. ABA President William Bay expressed surprise and disappointment over the decision. The controversy has drawn political commentary, with Senator Tom Cotton supporting Bondi and the Trump administration's stance, characterizing the ABA as a left-wing group. Meanwhile, the Florida Supreme Court has requested that The Florida Bar cease appointing delegates to an ABA policymaking body, adding another dimension to the ongoing debate about the ABA's influence. Editorial opinions have also emerged, emphasizing that Attorney General Bondi's loyalty should be to the public rather than to former President Trump. Additionally, the Florida Bar dismissed a complaint against Bondi, reflecting local legal community dynamics amid the broader national dispute.
