Roberts a Feddie after all?


After initially asking "why were there conservative Federalist Society lawyers arguing both sides" of Rice v. Cayetano, I then noted last week that the rumors of Supreme Court nominee John G. Roberts Jr. being a member of the Federalist Society were reported as being false.

But now it turns out that maybe he was a member after all.

The Washington Post again reports today that Roberts "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."

Roberts is one of 19 steering committee members listed in the directory, and in that same year's directory, the article says, "former U.S. solicitor general Theodore B. Olson, is listed as president of the chapter."

Olsen was of course the one who argued for Rice, opposite Roberts who as arguing for the state, before the Supreme Court in Rice v. Cayetano just two years later.
