America First Legal recently noted that over the past decade, at least 80 percent of the ABA’s Supreme Court amicus briefs advanced progressive outcomes, with none supporting conservative legal positions. The ABA has, for example, consistently argued for the losing perspective on abortion, gender identity, gun control, and affirmative action. It has even gone so far as to argue that the Equal Rights Amendment was ratified — a position so untenable that even the Department of Justice and Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg laughed it off.

Reading through the comments was quite enlightening. Got the normal measure of leftist and rightest drivel, and then the pragmatic centrist ideals that used to prevail in almost all matters. One comment that made me take pause:

I would favor an apprentice program in lieu of law school. Law school is useless.

How did one become qualified to practice law 250 years ago when law schools were scarce or unavailable? How was Abraham Lincoln able to practice law without a formal education? You could similarly make this argument about many professions - including architects, engineers and surveyors. All that is necessary is the ability to demonstrate a minimum level of competency in the given field. Some level of education is definitely necessary, but it needn't be formal and a degree shouldn't be an absolute requirement.

And promoting a bloated, one sided and likely corrupt organization as the gatekeeper of competency isn't doing the public any favors.
