"The ACS convention looked very much like a Federalist convention," said panelist Bradford Berenson, a former associate counsel to President Bush and a Federalist Society member, "just with people with a different general set of beliefs in the audience."

Our federalists

"Spence has been at the heart of this incestuous cabal that runs the Engler GOP," notes Fralick, pointing to Engler's appointment of Cliff Taylor-a Federalist Society member and Abraham's candidate in that mudslinging 1974 primary-to fill a vacancy on the State Supreme Court (five of whose seven justices are now Federalist Society members).

Abraham on the Altar

I am about to commit an act of unmitigated blasphemy for a Federalist Society member: I am about to attack most Federalist Society members' views of federalism.

(50) Federalist Society members are likely to cheer the latter half of this proposition.

A government of adequate powers

Alito is part of a cultural conservative roster that has been known to occasionally spar with more libertarian Federalist Society members.

Justice League: The members of today's Supreme Court, far from calling balls and strikes, are very much in the partisan game

From getting elected to Congress to writing massive numbers of amicus briefs, Federalist Society members have ensured that their views are present throughout the lawmaking process and established a new norm of conservative-driven legal decisions.

Avery and McLaughlin demonstrate how Federalist Society members chip away at laws with which they disagree, using incremental measures to create legal precedents on the way to challenging the laws themselves.

The Federalist Society

Many Federalist Society members have been among the most eloquent critics of Supreme Court decisions that they believe have undermined the electoral process.

Elections matter

(36) The vast majority of lower federal court judges appointed by recent Republican presidents are either members or have been approved by Federalist Society members involved in the appointment process.

Indeed, as Teles himself notes, "formal involvement in judicial selection may have been rendered unnecessary by the growth of the Society's network." (43) As far as the outside world is concerned, the activities of Federalist Society members are the business of the Society.

The Rise of the Conservative Legal Movement

Landay in the March 2000 Washington Monthly describes the Federalist Society as "the best organized, best funded, and most effective legal network operating in this country" and credits it as "accomplishing in the country what Republicans can't achieve politically." For example, in their book Hunting the President, Joe Conason and Gene Lyons describe the behind-the-scenes meetings of Federalist Society members that led to Kenneth Starr's prosecution of Bill Clinton.

The Network of Righteousness

During the Clinton years, Ted Olsen and Kenneth Starr (both Federalist Society members whose careers were advanced by Reagan's DO J) grabbed the spotlight with their crusade to impeach the president.
