My grandfather worked his way up to become chief justice of the Supreme Court in Washington state. He did not believe that judges should be members of the Bar Association although he was required to. he felt that it created a conflict of interest because the Bar Association is a private club, it is not a government entity. All prosecutors defense attorneys and judges are required to be members of this private club and he didn't think that made sense. every year the bar association would send him an invitation to their annual convention in a different big city and in the invitation would be paid for airplane tickets and paid for hotel reservations and paid for car rentals and every year he would return all of those things and pay his own way or not go.

I was an ABA member for 2 years after passing the CA bar because it was complimentary. After 2 years I did not feel that it was valuable enough for me to pay for being a member. As an attorney you must be a member of your State Bar (CA currently charges a fee of $510 per year). You are not required to join any other organizations, be it ABA or your county bar association, it’s a choice, and these attorneys were free to make this choice.😀
@fwelton
@fwelton 11 месяцев назад
Just curious, you explained the why of your membership or lack thereof, I'm not arguing for or against, my own experience is not the ABA, but the union. I am a Federal worker, my only reason to pay dues is because I believe if they have to represent me in specific circumstances, regardless of membership, I should pay for that service. For me it is just about honor. It was a choice, you made yours, you supported your choice, I made my choice and supported it. Why can't the idjits being questioned do the same in a simple answer?

Funny true story: Vojislav Šešelj - while defending himself at The Hague International Criminal Court for Ex-Yugoslavia; part of trial which lasted 12 years without any conviction... When forced to answer with only Yes or No. ; He replied to the main prosecutor, Sir Geoffrey Nice: "Mr. Nice, if you want me to follow your instructions and answer only with Yes., or No., on this circus crossexamination of yours, first you have to give Me an answer to my question directed at you, answer only with Yes. , or No!: "Does your parents know that you are Gay?" P.S. The comment above is paraphrasing of Mr. Šešelj exchange with prosecution, didn't quote him, cause He was speaking Serbian, and it's hard for me to translate his exchange with Mr. Nice (one of many funny ones:) and still not to lose its meaning and his point... Also, using the word "Gay" had no intention to be critical towards gay community, he choose that word, cause its meaning in Serbia/Ex-Yugoslavia was different...it can be used in slang even as friendly thing which sounds stupid ik, but also being called Gay in serious argument especially in front of others was very serious insult. Sry for a super long comment, but if you like interesting trial with tons of black humor by Dr. Šešelj at Hague, just search the yt. Cheers and sry for my English, and I hope most of you got my point, and i made someone smile... greetings from sunny Macedonia 🇲🇰

Take it from a practicing attorney who graduated from a top ten law school and worked at two huge multinational law firms in Manhattan. If the ABA bar dues were worth the membership, then these judicial nominees would have paid those fees. The only time I was ever a member of the ABA was when my employer offered to pay the bar membership dues. But for them paying those dues I would never have been a member. It's not even a matter of disagreeing or agreeing with the politics of the ABA. It's just the dues are not worth any benefits, potential or actual, of being an ABA member. The tap dance that these judicial nominees are doing to explain why they are not members of the ABA is pathetic and laughable at the same time.

I did think the ABA was rather left leaning back then, from the correspondence I received from them, but I kind of was, too back then. Being a prosecutor for five years, made me a conservative, LOL.

Paid less than 3 dollars a gallon all November in Tennessee here. I don't wanna hear the president doesn't set gas price now, GOP, cause yall seemed to think they did when it went your way.

The problem was the questions were idiotic. Dude gives ten bucks a month to ACLU and then he has to answer for statements they made when there's no context?

Then, he said the colleges were committed to equity, diversity, inclusion and "killing Jews." He could just as reasonably asked the guy when he quit beating his wife.
@combinationova

The reason is because if you answer flat out yes or no you subject yourself to unnecessary scrutiny. For example I as you if you liked waffles and you say yes. I then give you a review of a waffle you did not like and call you a liar. Generally, what you could say to easily prevent that accusation is "I generally enjoy them" or something to that. Like the last guy stated, it could be seen as "prejudging" for a judge to have public comments about live cases. Judges should not have any opinion except the equitable application of the law.

I believe that incitement to the commission of a felony is an offence. Trump was indicted for inciting an insurrection, and came closer to being convicted than any president ever. Conspiracy to commit a felony is an offence, even if the conspiracy is not carried out. Where I come from, civil fraud has three elements: (1) a represention is made that is false and is known by the person who makes it to be false, or is made with reckless disregard for whether it is true or false; (2) the person to whom it is made acts on it, (3) resulting in damage. You are not allowed to lie under oath, or to disclose classified information without authorization. Lying to police in order to impede a criminal investigation is obstruction of justice, and if made to shield a criminal, also makes you an accessory after the fact. There are truth in advertising laws. You can be sued for defamation. There are all kinds of unprotected speech. Bottom line: You are free to speak, but not free from the consequences of your speech.

So many folk saying "Why can't they answer with a simple yes/no? They're so bad!" Back in the 90's there was a question asked in elementary schools all over the place that really shows why they don't answer with a simple yes/no. Kids would ask other kids "Do your parents know you're gay?" If you say "Yes" it's implied you're gay. If you say "no" it's implied you're gay. Either way, you're gay. The way the individual asking these questions framed them put every one of them in the same situation. "Do you agree with this statement" when there are multiple parts to that statement that you may or may not agree to is a loaded question. Every question he asked was a loaded question.

"The first amendment gives people the right..." NO IT DOESN'T. Why do even "legal experts" say stupid shit like this? The Constitution does not GIVE rights. It prohibits the government from VIOLATING those rights.

lol agree, foghorn leghorn coullion is a hateful fete putain which isn’t a compliment in Louisiana French! I hate his fake accent. And I nearly died when Clay Higgins used the word Boo as if he speaks the Cadjin language. He’s also a nutcase.

My favorite thing is when they ask "here is a controversial thing you said on social media. Do you still believe it to be true." and just watch them fall all over themselves to not admit that they actually DO have controversial and many times abhorrent views.

It’s very simple there is absolutely a ton of bias in government, the laws or judgments are only applicable or enforced when they meet their ideological. If this weren’t true why are we dealing with such much problems in this country/world.

The esteemed Senator Kennedy said he was "a little confused". The NZ Branch of the Sen Kennedy Appreciation Soc begs to suggest that the Senator is never " a little confused" but is merely sharpening his mental razor a little more.
