Michael Astrue, President Bush's nominee for Commissioner of Social Security, has a significant affiliation with the Washington Legal Foundation. He is listed on the list of speakers that they make available. Washington Legal Foundation is a right wing organization that provides pro bono legal representation. With Astrue being affiliated with the Federalist Society and the Washington Legal Foundation, there can be no doubt that he can be accurately described as a "movement conservative." Although I can find no record of Astrue every saying this, it would be surprising if Astrue did not share the "movement conservative" view that Social Security is evil and should be abolished.
