I've read more than a few ABA reviews. There have been judge nominees with less than 12 years' experience that were found to be qualified. Judge Mizelle's CV leans pretty hard right, including her clerkships and her membership in professional associations,

The charge of left wing bias by the ABA is pretty well documented. As a result of this, both W's and Trump's administrations did not solicit ABA reviews of their nominees. The practice of ABA review of nominees started in the Eisenhower administration.

Here are a couple of articles discussing the ABA's bias:

There are more out there, some dispute the liberal bias. But then if one looks at the cumulative data of judges deemed unqualified by the ABA, the scales tip inordinately in the appearance of liberal bias.

Something the judge did at the request of the government.

Correctly reasoned item not, she did better than you did here.
A quick google search of 'ABA Bias' would have confirmed that this was not an ad hominin attack.

As for the CDC, a government agency, the proper method of implementing a mask mandate is to go through the NPRM (notice of proposed rulemaking) process. Not to try to bend a 1940s Act to try to fit the current pandemic.
