ABA has found 14 of 185 of Obama's potential judicial nominees "not qualified."

The NYT has learned through sources. We're not told who these individuals are, and we may never know, because they won't be nominated. But the NYT says that the ABA panel found that 6 of the 14 lacked sufficient experience, 5 had temperament issues, 3 were short on competence, and 3 had ethics problems. (3 fell short in more than one category.)

Officials of Mr. Obama’s legal team have met several times with the chairman of the bar association panel over the last year to raise concerns over the number of negative ratings, and have raised the possibility that the panel’s emphasis on trial experience may have a disparate impact on female and minority lawyers because they may have been less likely to become litigators.

Another way of putting that would seem to be that Obama is overreaching in an effort to name more women and minorities.

The ABA is rejecting 7.5% of Obama's potential nominees after rejecting only 2% for each of the previous 2 Presidents.
