Why is he and the WH so up in arms over his being on the STEERING COMMITTEE of the Federalist Society to the point of saying it depends on what the meaning of 'membership' is.

Roberts Jr. 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....
