for a supreme court nominee? What does membership in this organization show?

And yes I know I made a typo in the title.

In theory, not in practice. Libertarians don't want to associate with Jesus freaks and kippah-heads who are generally opposed to the raisons d'etre of libertarianism.

"any ties" is your characterization of the matter.

And did you wonder where Scalia was when Roberts was being sworn in?

EDIT: 4/9 members of the Court are Fed Soc. members.

Is this sufficient to constitute "ties?"

How so? It can't be that much of a litmus if so few of the recent nominees have been members.
