The ABA said he should be investigated by the FBI last week.
In 2006 when Kavanaugh was in the approval process for his federal judgeship the ABA downgraded Kavanaugh's ranking to simply "qualified" because their investigators interviewed several lawyers that considered him inexperienced, and one said he “dissembled” in the courtroom.
The American Bar Association had concerns about Kavanaugh 12 years ago. Republicans dismissed those, too.
"But in May 2006, as Republicans hoped to finally push Kavanaugh’s nomination across the finish line, the ABA downgraded its endorsement.
The group’s judicial investigator had recently interviewed dozens of lawyers, judges and others who had worked with Kavanaugh, the ABA announced at the time, and some of them raised red flags about “his professional experience and the question of his freedom from bias and open-mindedness.”
