VanDyke received a "not qualified" rating from the American Bar Association. ABA evaluators conducted 60 anonymous interviews with lawyers, judges, and others who had worked with VanDyke. The ABA published a scathing critique of VanDyke in a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee; that letter asserted that interviewees described VanDyke as "'arrogant, lazy, an ideologue, and lacking in knowledge of the day-to-day practice'" of law. The ABA added that "'There was a theme that the nominee lacks humility, has an 'entitlement' temperament, does not have an open mind, and does not always have a commitment to being candid and truthful'".
These are the people Trump is appointing to the bench.

Another nominee the ABA has deemed unqualified is US district judge nominee Sarah E. Pitlyk, who serves as a special counsel at the Thomas More Society, a national public interest law firm that has litigated against Planned Parenthood and was nominated for the Eastern District of Missouri.
The Senate Judiciary Committee is scheduled to vote on her nomination Thursday.
The ABA also criticized her lack of trial and litigation experience.
"A nominee to the federal bench ordinarily should have a minimum of 12 years' experience in the practice of law," the committee wrote, although they said the guideline is "neither a hard-and-fast rule or an automatic disqualifier." "However, Ms. Pitlyk's experience to date has a very substantial gap, namely the absence of any trial or even real litigation experience."
"Ms. Pitlyk has never tried a case as lead or co-counsel, whether civil or criminal," wrote William Hubbard, chair of the ABA's standing committee on the federal judiciary. 'She has never examined a witness. "Though Ms. Pitlyk has argued one case in a court of appeals, she has not taken a deposition. She has not argued any motion in a state or federal trial court. She has never picked a jury. She has never participated at any stage of a criminal matter."
