With its usual muddled illogic, Media Matters imagines that there’s some sort of inconsistency between my criticism of Goodwin Liu’s omissions from his Senate questionnaire response and my speculation in 2005 that the reason that John Roberts didn’t identify himself as a member of the Federalist Society on his Senate questionnaire response for his D.C. Circuit nomination in 2001 may well have been that he wasn’t a member of the Federalist Society. And, of course, Media Matters doesn’t acknowledge the actual grounds of my criticism of Liu’s omissions, much less link to my post.
