The Washington Post is reporting it has uncovered evidence that John Roberts was in fact a member of the Federalist Society — an influential conservative legal group. Until now the White House had maintained that Roberts was never a member of the group, which keeps its membership secret. Last week the White House successfully got several news organizations including the Post to retract reports that Roberts was a member. But now, the Washington Post reports that Roberts’ name appears in the legal organization’s 1997-1998 leadership directory.
