Roberts Outted

Well, you were right S9, The Dread Judge Roberts was certainly outted, all right...

As a member of the freekin' Federalist Society. The Washington Post has a piece on today's front page about it.

I'll give y'all the money shot on it right now, though. Roberts has previously told the Post and others that he has no memory of ever being a member of the Federalist Society. Then the Post goes out and finds the Society's lawyer's directory, which lists him as a member of the Washington, D.C. Steering Committee...

...of which he claims he has no memory...

I have two questions:

One... Why has the Bush Administration submitted yet another pathological liar to the Senate to be confirmed to a position of importance in our government?

Two... I would normally expected something like that to be an unstory, why is the administration and the nominee acting as though Federalist Society membership is something to be hidden?

It's not like it was all that secret...during the Bush v. Gore battle, Roberts membership as a Federalist Society cultist was apparently widely reported in stories on the competing legal teams...

What's up with that?
