He is referring to my disclosure that I may have briefly encountered  
Chip Berlet when I was in the National Lawyers Guild. I did not  
recuse on that basis as there was very little if any actual  
connection between us. I don't think membership or even active  
participation in the National Lawyers Guild  forms a basis for  
recusal as there are a number of reasons why people join the National  
Lawyers Guild and participate in it. Other than involvement in legal  
work there is absolutely no test for membership. Successful  
participation is another story. I soon found out that since I did not  
support the Gang of Four I was considered chopped liver.
