Post Sixteen: There goes the Supreme Court . . .

. . . appointment I was hoping for. Apparently, being associated with the Federalist Society puts you in a fringe-element of conservative ideology. From www.powerlineblog.com:

Charles Lane reports in today's Washington Post: "Roberts listed in '97-'98 Federalist Society directory." And one can only hope that John Roberts at age 50 retains the acerbic view of the Supreme Court of John Roberts at age 28: "Early on, Roberts trained his wit on high court."

DEACON adds: Scott's title captures the McCarthyite flavor of the way liberals would like to treat the Federalist Society. As in this excerpt from Lane's piece:

"What matters is whether he hung out with them and not whether he signed the form or wrote the dues check," said David Garrow, a law professor at Emory University. "What's important is the intellectual immersion."

I'm fucked. I was the VP of the Federalist Society my last year of law school.
