How the Federalist Society and Young College Republicans operate.

There is a good reason why the White House is trying so hard to dissociate John Roberts from his Federalist Society affiliation. The Federalist Society has its roots in the College Republicans and derives its membership from them. While I can't discuss the earlier history of the College Republicans with any authority, I do know this: the members now are enamored of dirty tricks. These people specialize in distraction, deception, and intimidation in order to advance their extremist agenda on the unwary.

I have spent the last seven years of my life working cheek-by-jowl next to members of the Federalist Society and the College Republicans. The Federalist Society is a law school student organization that began in the 1970s, and has "adult" chapters throughout the United States. According to the Washington Post and other news reports, its present secret membership lists contain those at the highest levels of the Bush Administration. <1> The same goes for College Republicans, the college campus organization that feeds into the Federalist Society.
