Democrats and left-wingers everywhere are gearing up to fight the nomination of John Roberts to the Supreme Court. The latest is that he belonged to the Federalist Society. He says he never joined or paid dues, and the organization won't reveal if he did for privacy reasons, but he did, and admits it, make some speeches at society events and was on their steering committee at one point. The Federalist Society is basically a group that promotes individual liberty, strict constructionism, and state's rights.

The same people who still whine about McCarthy and the blacklist of Communist Party members in the 50's are now hypocritically attacking Roberts for belonging to an organzation that has not caused millions of deaths.
