If Roberts had just admitted to being a member of the Federalist Society and not gone out of his way to deny it, would anybody have cared? Somehow, I doubt it. What percentage of the population even knows that such a group exists, let alone know enough to form an opinion on whether a potential Supreme Court Justice should be a member? So why the parsing and denials? He actually called newspapers to refute the notion, and they dutifully ran corrections. Just weird.
