Fred,
Some good points; it should be noted, I AGF with you and the Committee during the process. It's not my place to tell you how to run your bidness, but it appears now you handed Cberlet a licence to continue his incivility, as I prophesized. A modicum of balance in the proceeding could have helpful.
As for the NLG, it really is a unique organization that doesn't come under the Subversive Activities Control Board, nonetheless Congressional Records as late as 1994 refer to it as a "cited Communist Front organization." I assume your membership was benign, and likewise you should be afforded the opportunity to declaim support for Soviet foreign policy. It's not like you've been accused of a lynching.

I may recuse should the matter come to arbitration, but it will not be because I am a friend of Chip Berlet, we may have briefly encountered one another 30 years ago, but there was no further personal or political relationship, although I admire his work. You make much of the notion that mere membership in the same organization signifies a close conspiratorial relationship. I am more likely to recuse because I admire Haynes and Klehr and might feel that I could not be fair to Chip if I ruled on the matter. You just don't get it. If I feel I can be fair I don't recuse, if I feel I can be, I don't.
And you don't understand the Lawyers Guild. For example one matter involved a group of illegal immigrants who had joined a union. The employer then turned them into immigration and tried to fire them because they were illegals. Now, as long as they didn't join a union. he was just fine with that. That's the sort of stuff we worked on. That sort of work has nothing to do with the issues you are fussing over.
