When the history of the American Bar Association's downfall is written, one theme will recur: it didn't have to end this way. By the 1960s, nearly half of the lawyers in the United States were members of the ABA. Congress, Presidents, and the courts consulted the ABA closely as a trusted advisor on all legal matters. Yet, tragically, that trust was squandered when the ABA was captured by the left. Instead of serving as a trade group for lawyers, the ABA became just another left-wing advocacy group. As membership declined, the ABA could have arrested its progressive lurch, but instead accelerated in the wrong direction.

Marcus Coleman, the father of a California girl permanently disabled by an illegal immigrant, blasts sanctuary city policies at a Congressional hearing on Tuesday. Coleman's daughter, Dalilah, suffered a fractured skull, broken femur, and traumatic brain injury in the 2024 California crash after an 18-wheeler driven by an illegal immigrant crashed into the vehicle she was in. At a House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement hearing, Coleman told Democratic members of Congress that he "rejects their sympathy."
A senior prosecutor in New York Attorney General Letitia James' office has accused his superiors of wasting taxpayer money by targeting President Donald Trump and his allies without legitimate investigative grounds, according to the New York Post. Assistant Attorney General Daniel Wiesenfeld made the allegations in a weekend email sent to roughly 2,000 employees in James' office, arguing that its resources were being used to pursue "convenient public enemies" instead of crimes affecting New Yorkers.
When a leftist turns violent, Democratic politicians and their media allies offer a familiar response: yes, this is terrible, but right-wing violence is the greater threat. They have made that claim for decades, and it has always rested on a dubious premise. The premise depends on statistics compiled by advocacy groups that exclude a vast catalog of left-wing violence"from the George Floyd riots to murders committed by pro-Palestinian activists and attacks on synagogues, Catholic churches, Tesla dealerships, and ICE facilities. Meanwhile, conservatives are routinely held responsible for the actions of violent loners, drug dealers, and conspiracy theorists with no coherent political program. Deranged anti-Semites, racists, incels, and antigovernment extremists get classified as right-wing, even when their targets span both parties.
Natalie Harp has been in the news so much that I assumed she must have committed a crime, done something unethical or botched her job as one of President Donald Trump's aides so badly that he fired her. I'm as disappointed as you are to learn none of the above is true (at least not yet). Nevertheless, Harp has dominated news coverage
So, ideological diversity is no bueno with leftists? That tracks.
