After several years of attempting to keep the fact that they're a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Democrat Party under wraps, the American Bar Association has decided to cast off its non-partisan cloak and reveal themselves as just another bunch of loony leftists. Most recently is the ABA's House of Delegate's "Diversity" accreditation standard that requires […]
...give the rest a bad name. Yes, it's an old joke but it's strangely appropriate in light of a lawsuit filed today in Detroit.
