Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Federalist Society?

Is it time for a new un-American activities Committee? I know, it sounds preposterous, but see this.

As the sides take form on coming interrogation investigations, the Federalist Society appears to be stepping into the vacuum to defend former Bush administration officials.

The lawyers' group, which was a pipeline for judges in the Bush White House, is hosting a call this morning with National Review writer Andy McCarthy, a former federal prosecutor, lawyer David Rivkin, and Chapman University Law School Dean John Eastman. -Ben Smith, via ASullivan


Now, on the far-right's own logic, we are "at war". We have elevated to head of our forces involved in this war a General (Petreaus) who believes that the way to win does not include waterboarding people, etc.

So, tell me, aren't these people broadly subverting a wartime effort?

Seriously, as a matter of feeding the Right its own medicine. This conclusion is not 'leftwing logic', whatsoever, correct?

Shouldn't we have a list of The Society, at a minimum?
