"As for Canon 2A, if that were applicable here, then how in the sacred name of Learned Hand, why did he get nominated by the Obama Administration?"

What are you talking about?

Canon 2 - C. Nondiscriminatory Membership. A judge should not hold membership in any organization that practices invidious discrimination on the basis of race, sex, religion, or national origin.

Canon 2A.

Unlike you, I do not presume to look into the hearts of people and sit in judgement on their actions. As far as I am concerned, if the BMCC were turned into a huge home for unwed mothers or low income housing, it would not bother me at all.

Funny, that.

The issue is not the CJC's rules. The issue is whether the BMCC's membership policy results in "invidious" discrimination.

Regarding empathy, I think all public officials have an obligation to treat people in the manner you suggest. But when it comes to the role of a judge, allowing empathy to trump law leads down a dangerous path.

I think equal treatment under law is a fundamental principle of American Values. I also think that the right to Free Association is a fundamental principle.

No doubt 'Old Money' is a big factor. So is being a member of the lucky sperm club and have ancestors who achieved something.
