When I talk to law students, I get the sense that FedSoc chapters today are different—more extreme, more overtly political, unabashedly MAGA—than they might have been 20-30 years ago when many law profs were in law school. Think this legacy helps explain why so many still treat the org seriously.
Judge Edith Jones launched an acrimonious and unfair attack against @stevevladeck.bsky.social on a panel today at the Federalist Society convention that went entirely against the spirit of civil, fair-minded debate. Steve acquitted himself well, but it's sad to see. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DBl...

Why did Trump nominate Gaetz knowing that he may not pass the senate? To protect him. By giving Gaetz cover to resign, the House no longer has jurisdiction over Gaetz, and House R's will not release the ethics report in order to not undermine their POTUS-elect.

Funny how the Party for "law and order" is nominating a sex pest to be Attorney General. The jokes write themselves.
