FedSoc is an insurrectionist terrorist organization and should be treated as such. The federal judges belonging to FedSoc needs to be investigated for ties to foreign and domestic threats

True. Absolutely. Leonard Leo is behind this hot mess. Supports Ginni Thomas & funds her covertly using Kellyanne Conway. Sickening.

Conservatism is so totally corrupted such that this is what conservatism has come to mean, not a political philosophy to consider and at least tolerate. Conservatives Republicans, especially the Federalist Society (except for Baude and Paulsen apparently), accepted Trump with open arms, someone they could work with to gain, usurp power. The corrupted found others easy to corrupt and so we have RICO, thank you Fani Willis. The law will hopefully succeed where the best efforts of our Congress did not.

I haven’t seen much discussion about the fact that Judge Scott McAfee “...led the college chapter of The Federalist Society.”

Interesting how the totally "random selection" process keeps getting these hardcore conservative judges to hear the cases against Trump. Just goes to show how well Leonard Leo has succeeded in totally politicizing the judiciary, and seeding it with doctrinaire right-wing hacks.

No. The judge overseeing the case is a FedSoc member

Lisa this was a concise explanation of the Federalist Society that educated me on how deep and wide its roots go. I was both shocked and appalled by it. Bear in mind I paid scant attention to politics until 2016 whe it became critical.

Thank you . Ever since the wheels of Christian Nationalists and Republicans turned together to get Reagan elected they have continued to tarnish the Republican Machine right from 1980 till the present . They have all justified their illegal approaches and actions . Their capacity for reality is fractured . They lie as easily as they move their lips and have created a vast trail of the ruins of Democracy .

Two political weasels, Federalist Society members Jeffrey Clark (left) and John Eastman. Leonard Leo's Boys & Girls Club.

What a bunch of entitled scumbags. When I was in law school (‘87-‘90) the Federalist Society people were the ones at the bottom of the class who had bigger mouths than brains. I clerked at a small PI firm my first summer and had to work with one of those morons. This guy was a third year law student and still could not write a decent memo or pleading, I spent my summer rewriting his bullshit and having to tell people that no, I was not a secretary, I was a law clerk. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 Oh, and btw? The male morons at that firm were treated much better and more respectfully than I was, even though I had the best resume among the bunch - by a WIDE margin.
