Clarification on Alito:

In a post below, we look at Alito's claims not to know about CAP's activities or their Prospect magazine. That may be the case. How can it be proved one way or another?

When somebody joins a group that started out with controversial positions and remained controversial throughout the time of membership, he or she can fairly be associated with those views. It's the responsibility of the member to follow the group's activities and act accordingly: stay or leave. Since he didn't leave CAP until 1985, and then without protest, it's entirely reasonable to attribute the group's views to Alito.
