     @knittingknots2 "The Department is actively litigating against the ABA"

     Anyone know what this means? Has the DoJ sued the ABA, or is this because the ABA is a party to the lawsuit brought by attorneys against the Trump admin for persecuting attorneys who defend people the admin doesn't like?

     It makes no sense. But then little has made sense since 2015.

     @Axomamma @knittingknots2 they could actually cause people to think twice about presenting obviously bogus ideas when they have the power to disbar. No bar, no more problems for people like Rudy.

     @ATLeagle The ABA doesn't disbars attorneys. That's done state by state, by state bars.

     The ABA does advocacy, continuing ed - stuff like that.

     @Axomamma ok, thanks. I was thinking that state bars rolled up to the aba as a way for everyone to claim to authority
