Yes, the ABA gave her the highest rating BUT the ABA viwes a person's "professional qualifications" and does not take into consideration their "philosophy, political affiliation or ideology" when making its determinations. If you interview me for an open position, and my resume has all the experince and skills for the job, but during the interview I didnt asnwer any of the questions, you calling me back for a second interview?As an initial matter, she answered tons of questions. And the questions she avoided were properly avoided as a Justice should not signal how they would rule on a particular issue.
To directly answer your question: Because she is a competent, knowledgeable, jurist. The American Bar Association gave her its highest rating.
