“This is embarrassing,” Rep. Brandon Gill said, as Michelle A. Behnke ( from Madison, Wisconsin—of course she is), the president of the American Bar Association (ABA) repeatedly refused to answer direct questions, was infuriatingly evasive and displayed nauseating hypocrisy and dishonesty as Rep. Brandon Gill questioned her regarding DEI, bias and discrimination. It was embarrassing, for Democrats, progressives, fans of permanent anti-white discrimination, members of the ABA (the largest American bar association, which I refuse to join expressly because of the organization’s lack of integrity ) so flamingly displayed by Behnke, and especially all lawyers. How can the public trust a “profession” that allows such a shifty, pusillanimous, dishonest individual to represent it by leading its members’ largest and most prestigious organization?
I say this as a legal ethicist: It can’t.
This reminds me of the people at the college I work at. They are like cartoon levels of absurdity.
In the midst of the filebustering we hear “I am a real estate attorney.” I regard RE attorneys as an entry level position in the profession. For the most part they provide boiler plate forms to be signed at the closure of a real estate purchase, while sitting at a big table. My question is how does she become president of the ABA?
She seems to be the very product of DEI policy this organization aspires to. Which mean promoting someone to a position of authority when they do not have any actual proven skills required. It means promtion based on color or ethnicity only, not substantial merit.
