Just to be clear, it’s not that most of the membership of the Federalist Society has been confirmed as judges (there are tens of thousands of us members!), but that moat of the nominees have been members.
Aaaah! Good to know.
When I do the short judge bios, I use the "judges" pages on Wikipedia.
It's fairly reliable for indicating a "Federalist Society" membership - but I started noticing that there can be what I was calling "affiliates" - jurists who made presentations/talks before the Society, or had been members in the past, or were associated in some way.
That explains things. I knew there were chapters in many, many cities - but was unaware of the extent of the membership.
I do know that Democrat senators on the Judiciary committee get bent out of shape if they catch a whiff of Federalist Society ties in a judicial candidate.
Standard question on their interrogation sheets. The DemoCommies have replaced the ""Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party of the United States?" with ""Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Federalist Society?"
Not 100% accurate, but close enough for most of my purposes.
