Alito Unanimously "Well-Qualified"

The American Bar Association has released their rating on Supreme Court nominee Sam Alito and it's the same as it was in 1990 when Alito was nominated to the federal bench by Bush 41: well-qualified (the ABA's highest rating).

The ABA's highest rating won't stop some from attacking Alito, said Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

"Unfortunately, the hard left groups decided long before these ratings were announced that they would oppose his nomination," Cornyn said Wednesday. "And some Senate Democrats, including some who have previously described the ABA's evaluation as the gold standard, will now dismiss the rating as meaningless."

Further:

• ABA letter sent to the Senate Judiciary Committee, noting their unanimous vote of well-qualified
• Appellate Advocates' letter submitted to the Committee on Judge Alito's behalf by (among others) dozens of law professors and DOJ officials representing every Justice Department since LBJ's.
