Not so much anti-Federalist as misrepresenting the nature of the Federalist Society. Se ascribed to them "political activism" and said she dod not want to belong to a "politically active" professional society. Fact is, the FedSoc makes no position statements, and espouses only strict construction of the Constitution in court, and open debate.
The ABA, which Ms. Miers participated in leadership, doe prepare and promulgate political position statements, e.g., in support of gay adoption, in support of judical activism, etc. I'm not saying Miers holds those views, but only that she does belong to a professional organization that promulgates political position statements.
So, to summarize, not exactly anti-Federalist. Just not clear on the difference between FedSoc and ABA, and used as a reason for not belonging to the FedSoc (participates in making political position statements) that if applied with principle, would have her not retain membership in the ABA.
He spoke as one who has known and worked with her for well over a decade, who has played host to her when she has been a Federalist Society speaker, and -- perhaps most significant -- who joined her in a battle to get the American Bar Association to rescind its resolution endorsing Roe v. Wade , the decision establishing a right to abortion.
I highlighted her speaking before them, I obviously was aware the ABA has taken stances before and Miers evidently was not for endorsing such.
BTW, remember the brouhaha over Roberts being listed one year on the Federalist Society roster and saying he didn't remember ever being a member?
