Why in God’s name would be a dues paying member of the Federalist Society be a bad thing.

What Roberts should have said is, "Hey, now that you mention it, I probably am behind on my dues. Thanks for the reminder! I'll sent them in right now."

Why are (we) conservatives ashamed of being conservatives. Yes, I realize that John Roberts just needed to get the SCOTUS gig and then he was a made guy, but the Federalist Society is hardly something to be ashamed of. Further, we need to strenuously refute the narrative of the left/MSM to make reputable conservative groups and policies appear to be fringe.
