As to the person I spoke to...most likely an admin answering phones. I was told on three separate calls that the information was not available. I called all the various numbers listed for the ABA. I was told to send an email to the Governmental Affairs general mail box. On the 4th call it was suggested that I call his local State Bar. On the last call, this time to the Legal Department, I was put on hold and then was told that, per an internal email, Kav was upgraded to well qualified on Aug 31, 2018. So unlike what was repeated numerous times during the hearing and elsewhere, not the Gold Standard until 30 days ago. Then, as we know, the President of the ABA wrote a letter withholding Endorsement until an investigation was called to address the new allegations. To be clear the letter was from the President of the ABA not the Standing Committee of the Fed Judiciary that rates Federal Judges and who gave the rating of Well Qualified on Aug.31, 2018.
