<![CDATA[Roberts Listed in Federalist Society ’97-98 Directory:

Supreme Court nominee John G. Roberts Jr. has repeatedly said that he has no memory of belonging to the Federalist Society, but his name appears in the influential, conservative legal organization’s 1997-1998 leadership directory.

The White House is refusing to release memos written by Roberts during his tenure under two Republican presidents and now there is a stark discrepancy between Roberts’ recollections and the printed directory of the Federalist Society, a legal group with a distinctly ideological agenda. When President Bush called for a “dignified” confirmation process was this what you expected? Will you put up with it, even if you did expect it?
