The Demoncrats are conducting a witch hunt. Soon every lawyer and judge will be dragged in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee and asked. “Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Federalist Society?”

According to the New York Times.

The status of Judge Roberts in relation to the conservative Federalist Society also remained unclear. "He has no memory of ever joining or paying dues to the Federalist Society," Mr. McClellan said, while conceding that the nominee had taken part in events sponsored by the society.

There have been conflicting news reports over the past few days as to the extent of Judge Roberts's association with the society, formed two decades ago by conservative judges and lawyers hoping to counter what they saw as growing liberalism in the courts.

Judge Roberts declined to answer questions on the topic today on Capitol Hill, which he visited for a fourth day of get-acquainted meetings with senators. He conferred with Senator Dianne Feinstein, Democrat of California and a member of the Judiciary Committee.

To “Bottle-opener” Senator Ted Kennedy we can only ask, “Have you no decency, Sir?”

Possible substitutions
Federalist = Communist
"Bottle-opener" Ted Kennedy = "Tail-gunner" Joe McCarthy

Update from the Washington Post, Roberts may have been a card carrying member of the Society.
