That was when the ABA approved nominees before they were
submitted.
I don't think the ABA ever "approved" nominees: they evaluated
nominees, potential nominees, and sometimes suggested nominees. It was
always given as advisory only, though the evaluation was taken
seriously up to the Nixon administration. It's influence waned after
the rejection of the Carswell nomination.
Fair enough. But it was the Bush administration that basically
said "Forget about it, we don't give a ***** what you say." As
I remember it.
Again, I don't think this is completely accurate; as I remember, Nixon
was the first to announce he would no longer submit names of potential
nominees to the ABA, in essence telling them "we don't give a *****
what you think."
No, Putsch was the first.
"I have not ordered the use of force. I hope
the use of force will not become necessary.
Hopefully this can be done peacefully.
Hopefully we can do this without any
military action."
--Putsch, three months after telling Blair he planned
to attack as soon as he had the phony intelligence
and propaganda all in place.
