uh... that would be a no... affiliation with professional associations, community organizations, and interest groups are certainly appropriate items for a resume, but they fall into the "other" category, and are included only to indicate community involvement, a willingness to expand or support your profession, and/or other interests that are the marks of a well-rounded individual... i've looked at and evaluated tons of resumes, and, i can tell you, those things are looked at for those reasons only and should NEVER, EVER become part of a qualifications screening...

Today, the House Judiciary Committee released a new set of documents from the Department of Justice relating to the firings of eight U.S. Attorneys.
The last page of document set 3 contains an email from Monica Goodling with an attached Excel spreadsheet on “USA data (GWB).”
The spreadsheet appears to assess a list of U.S. Attorneys based on a variety of different qualifications, including prosecution experience and political experience. But there is one column dedicated solely to an assessment of whether the attorneys are members of the Federalist Society. ... The far right column contains a data column for “FedSoc”...

If Bill Clinton tracked the same for ACLU members, would that be O.K.?
