SHOCKING: ABA president WON’T TAKE THE BAIT As Jordan Demands She Pick A Side On Israel

Representative Jim Jordan used his five minutes at a House Oversight Task Force hearing to demand that American Bar Association President Michelle Behnke declare who the “good guys” are in the Israel-Hamas war. Jordan asked the same question five different times in five different ways. Behnke refused to answer every single time, stating that her personal opinion was not relevant and that she was appearing as the president of a professional organization guided by its 600-member House of Delegates. Jordan never got the political declaration he came for. After failing to crack Behnke on the Israel question, Jordan pivoted to attacking the ABA’s claim of nonpartisanship, citing the organization’s official positions on abortion access, immigration detention, and transgender athlete protections. Behnke held her ground through every line of attack, repeatedly pointing to the deliberative democratic process of the House of Delegates. Jordan closed by noting that only around 200,000 of the country’s 1.5 million lawyers are ABA members and that several states including Texas, Tennessee, and Florida are moving to end the ABA’s role as the sole accreditor of law schools. What you are watching is a congressman demanding that a professional organization abandon its institutional structure and take his preferred political side on a live military conflict. She refused.
