I didn't got to Harvard, I am way too dumb. The Bar Association thing, there is the national association (ABA), state associations, and local associations. It's a voluntary entity separate from being admitted to the bar. I'm only a member of the state association, so it doesn't impact me directly. But the concept is that the ABA is pooling together legal talent it represents from across the spectrum to speak in a somewhat authoritative voice. If the ABA is getting involved the reaction should probably be "I bet they're going to make some good points" but fascist wannabes believe in silencing countervailing viewpoints etc.
