Florida Leads Fight Against Corrupt American
Bar Association

Original Article

Posted By: Mercedes44, 12/8/2025 2:36:47 AM

Last month, Florida Attorney General James Uttmeier made public a letter to the American Bar Association (“ABA”) accusing it of violating the First Amendment right to religious freedom when it said a Catholic law school did not meet one of its equal opportunity accreditation standards. The school is Florida’s St. Thomas University College of Law, and the standard is number 205, titled “Non-discrimination and Equal Opportunity.” The ABA’s finding did not specify how St. Thomas fell short. Standard 205 is distinct from the ABA’s standard 206, which requires law schools to commit to diversity ideology to get accredited.

I remember well the day I resigned from the ABA in disgust. Phil Anderson from Little Rock was the president of that outfit and he invited the recently-disbarred Webb Hubbel to give the ethics presentation at that year's annual meeting. "You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy,"

So: let me understand. There is no problem with the scholastics of the school , but the Bar Association has declared that this school does not allow enough blacks to lower the standards of the school and so they take away it's accreditation? What horse dung. Who made the ABA god to tell all schools how many of this or that they must allow before they can teach the law. Liberalism has invaded this country and is destroying us.

The ABA is what it is because because it is supported by bottom dwelling lawyers. A big fix is in order.

Only around 20% (at most) of all lawyers belong to the ABA and yet they pretend too speak for all lawyers. The organization is basically pointless other than to promote leftist viewpoints - and judges. Most lawyers came to the conclusion early in their career that it wasn't worth several hundred dollars a year to support a very liberal organization when all you get in return is a plastic plaque to put on the wall and a monthly worthless liberal magazine.

For those of you under the age of 60, lawyers were not allowed to advertise on tv back in the early 70's. If one wanted a lawyer, one went to the yellow pages of the phone book. It was thought that letting lawyers advertise on tv would create more lawsuits and swamp the courts with cases, and the increased lawsuits would eventually result in higher prices for almost everything. The ABA was backing this law to the hilt. As were most lawyers in Congress. The result of the passage of this law allowing advertising can be seen and felt by everyone. So, while everyone is screaming about the cost of healthcare, it just wasn't Obozocare that caused it. Thank the elected representatives in Congress, and the ABA.

If we were to abolish these two institutions, law schools and schools of education, the impact could be felt within 5-10 years. They are both dens of sedition and radical Marxism. Legal and educational apprenticeship has more value and will provide better quality people to do the job than any worthless university connected institution ever will.

I have often told anyone who asked about it that one should never encourage anyone to become an attorney. On that same subject, one should never encourage the creation of another law school.

In November, the Daily Sceptic reported that a policeman had told a Christian preacher that some words painted on his van “could be seen as hate speech in the wrong context”. The words were a Biblical verse: Chapter 3, verse 16 of the Gospel according to John, “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.” Of course, the Free Speech Union observed that for such words to be prohibited or penalised would violate free speech, and that if a police officer is even suggesting they might be,

Here we go again: the sun rises, another federal judge kneecaps the Trump agenda. In this latest ruling, issued Monday, a Bill Clinton-appointed jurist decided that Trump hasn’t explained himself enough and “failed to justify” his decision to put a halt to the wind project madness that has swept the country. Sometimes I wish the president would just say, “I got 77 million votes, you didn’t — that’s my justification. Buzz off.” Of course, he can’t do that: On Trump’s first day in office (January 20), he issued an executive order titled “Temporary Withdrawal of All Areas on the Outer Continental Shelf from Offshore Wind Leasing -

Last week, I told you how about how Hugo “El Pollo” Carvajal Barrios, an ex-military intelligence officer for the Venezuelan regime, who was a powerful official within Nicolás Maduro's Cartel de los Soles, wrote Donald Trump a letter. As of Monday evening, another former Maduro insider has come forward with a similar letter, which was also provided to the Dallas Express. Former Major General Cliver Antonio Alcalá Cordones was a high-ranking commander in Venezuela’s armed forces who served under Hugo Chávez, and at one point in time he was more powerful than even Maduro within the Chávez government.

The New York Times has invented a new genre of reporting — covering big stories showing Democrats in a bad light years after the events that matter. At the tail end of 2025, the Times has broken the news that the Biden administration flooded the country with illegal immigrants, partly for ideological and partisan reasons, partly out of sheer incompetence. Who knew? The nearly 4,000-word story by Christopher Flavelle, with 14 colleagues contributing additional reporting and research, is certainly well-sourced, but none of its facts have just come to light. It dissects Biden’s immigration misdeeds and missteps over each of his four years in office.
Takeover bid of parent company means limbo

Paramount Skydance’s hostile takeover bid of Warner Bros. Discovery, announced Monday, places CNN and its sister cable networks squarely back into what is likely to be an extended period of management limbo. There was some relief at CNN with last Friday’s announcement that Netflix was buying Warner’s studio and streaming businesses, since the cable network would not be a part of that deal. Paramount’s bid, if successful, opens the possibility of a combined CNN and CBS News. The management uncertainty adds to what is already a challenging time at CNN, where there was no doubt who was in charge before swashbuckling founder Ted Turner sold his company in 1996.

The arrest of the alleged J6 pipe bomber just lumps mystery on top of mystery. What we know from court documents and media reports since his arrest Thursday is that suspect Brian Cole Jr., is a black, 30-year-old loner who lives in his mom’s basement in the middle-class suburb of Woodbridge, Va., a 20-minute drive from Washington, DC. According to his family, he is borderline autistic, and incapable of such a crime. In interviews, Cole’s grandmother, Loretta Cole, has said he is “very naïve . . .

The memo warned that a huge influx was possible given Biden’s approach, a backlog from the Trump administration, and COVID hardships.

Joe Biden's FBI under Director Christopher Wray knew Brian Cole was the January 6 pipe bomber back in April, 2921, but for some reason chose not to take him into custody or charge him with crimes. Brian Cole, 30, of Woodbridge, Virginia, was taken into custody last Thursday and charged with use of an explosive device and attempted malicious destruction by means of explosive materials. Cole admitted to investigators that he planted pipe bombs at the RNC and DNC headquarters on January 5, the night before the Capitol riot.
