Yesterday, went looking around at other web sites and visited the Federalist site...When you look at the attorneys on this site and match the names together with the Republican Attorney Ass. web site..there are many of the same people and then when you match the names at the AG office, well again the match is there but if you dig deeper, names all over this administration match!

Your right, no surprise but alarming!

Regarding the overall document dump (and not just the Federalist Society page):

At least one Judiciary Committee member has noted this that the DoJ hasn't formally explained why it redacted certain portions (not just a spokesperson saying it's for "privacy". Is that still the case?

Most important: do these documents address the original subpoena(s)?

uh... that would be a no... affiliation with professional associations, community organizations, and interest groups are certainly appropriate items for a resume, but they fall into the "other" category, and are included only to indicate community involvement, a willingness to expand or support your profession, and/or other interests that are the marks of a well-rounded individual... i've looked at and evaluated tons of resumes, and, i can tell you, those things are looked at for those reasons only and should NEVER, EVER become part of a qualifications screening...

I was looking to see if Biskupic was listed as a member of the Federalist Society, but I couldn't find a line that was clearly about Biskupic (hard to tell with the reproduction so reduced.)

Is Biskupic on the chart?

Whether or not Biskupic is a member, there certainly is that photo of him addressing the Federalist Society. I wonder if it has secret, underground members.

Indeed, the Federalist Society is a conservative organization. However, the fact that some of the U.S. attorneys have elected to become members of the organization is not indicative of anything other than their conservative beliefs.

What else would you expect from a conservative administration? Liberal members?

I cannot agree with those who are basically moralizing conservative and conservatism as something bad or evil, for I believe that corruption knows no political persuasion. Indeed, I would hope that this site would be equally zealous in its pursuit of wrongdoing if this were a liberal administration.

I hope that the more liberal of us will be understanding of their lose and the demoralization they will carry as this cabal falls apart.

World dominations has it cost and the GOP I’m afraid is going to have to come to terms with it, unless they of course get away with it.

phil james wrote on April 13, 2007 4:02 PM:

I believe one of the basic tenets of Constitutional law promoted by the Federalist Society is the notion of the unitary executive, which brings with it the idea that the UE is the sole arbiter of Federal law so whatever the UE does is by definition lawful, and presumably of course anyone working for the UE would also fall into this category. There are at least 2 members of the SCOTUS who likely subscribe to this notion.

One of the things necessary to make corruption work is a high level of personal loyalty.

The Bush administration needs to know that it can set verbal policy that overrides written policy. And it needs people to keep quiet about these secret trump policies.

The significance of relying on a single source for all judicial appointments is at least partially that it facilitates the corruption we're now uncovering.

With reference to the post by profmarcus, I think being identified with the ACLU is different, because of how it's perceived. Most people even know that the ACLU has defended groups and people at both ends of the political spectrum.

But the Federalist Society? That's pretty secretive. We even had a Supreme Court nominee last year say he didn't remember being a member even though he was on list of members.

I'd just like those people to be upfront with us.

At my law school, the FS was a pretty benign presence. I was surprised to find I was a member, in fact, as I attended a consitutional law review class and some events co-sponsored with the ACLU (of which I was also a member). I took advantage of my membership by casting a vote for the more moderate candidate for local President. The "real" FS members were more coservative than average, but generally not kool-aid-drinkers. It seems pretty clear my law school was blessed with one of the less-destructive branches of FS. But in defense of FS, I suspect a lot of its "mainstream" is disgusted by the unitary-monarch line of "thinking."

I hate to toot my own horn, but you know the old saying. And besides, the follow is so relevant to this discussion.
I typed the following out the other day from a book by Eric Hoffer, that warm and fuzzy writer that Dwight Eisenhower was enamored with and that Ronald Reagan awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Yeah, that guy. This is from "True Believer".
Intensity of conviction is not the main factor which compels a movement to spread its faith to the four corners of the earth: “Religions of great intensity often confine themselves to contemning, destroying, or at best pitying what they see in themselves.”Nor is the impulse to proselytize an expression of an overabundance of power which as Bacon has it “is like a great flood, that will be sure to overflow.”

The missionary zeal seems rather an expression of some deep misgiving, some pressing feeling of insufficiency at the center. Proselytizing is more a passionate search for something not yet found than a desire to bestow upon the world something we already have. It is a search for a final and irrefutable demonstration that our absolute truth is indeed the one and only truth.

The proselytizing fanatic strengthens his own faith by converting others. The creed whose legitimacy is most easily challenged is likely to develop the strongest proselytizing impulse. It is doubtful whether a movement which does not profess some preposterous and patently irrational dogma can be possessed of that zealous drive which “must either win men or destroy the world.”

It is also plausible that those movements with the greatest inner contradiction between profession and practice — that is to say with a strong feeling of guilt — are likely to be the most fervent in imposing their faith on others. The more unworkable communism proves in Russia, and the more its leaders are compelled to compromise and adulterate the original creed, the more brazen and arrogant will be their attack on a non-believing world.

The slaveholders of the South became the more aggressive in spreading their way of life the more it became patent that their position was untenable in a modern world. If free enterprise becomes a proselytizing holy cause, it will be a sign that its workability and advantages have ceased to be self evident.

The passion for proselytizing and the passion for world dominion are both perhaps symptoms of some serious deficiency at the center. It is probably as true as a band of apostles or conquistadors as it is of a band of fugitives setting out for a distant land that they escape from an untenable situation at home. And how often indeed do the three meet, mingle and exchange their parts.

The Federalist Society reminds of those clubs in Main Street like the Moose Lodge and the Elks, which you had to join to be one of the boys. These substituted a clan for actual like-mindedness. Now, I understand the function of these societies in small towns - you buy from your lodge members (who also lived in your town) and they buy from you, and everybody benefits. That's perfectly sensible in small towns, and in large ones too.

However, the use of a membership in a conservawacko society for employement in the US Government is much more pernicious. That's because ideology can easily (as in your friend) substitute for intelligence, and god knows there are a passel of really stupid lawyers.

As JK Galbreath said, "Not all conservatives are stupid, but all stupid people are conservative."

A True Howler

Vice President's Remarks at the Federalist Society's National Convention, November 17, 2006

[snip]

No modern organization has been so effective in promoting respect for the separation of powers, federalism, and the topic of this conference, limited government.

The Federalist Society stands firm, as well, for the principle that courts exist to exercise not the will of men but the judgment of law.

Federal judges are appointed for life and serve outside the democratic process.

Therefore they have a duty to pursue no agenda or platform -- and to leave politics to those who run for office and answer to the people.

As a great American put it, judges are to be "servants of the law, not the other way around." And those are the words of Chief Justice John Roberts, one of the many superb nominees chosen by President George W. Bush. (Applause.)

Buck wrote on April 13, 2007 4:55 PM:

Hoffer's True Believer is really relevant here.

He goes into all the reasons people join "movements" such as all those former Bushies who have abandoned him. And those not yet left behind.

Read today that Lee Iaccoca was incensed at what Bush has done to this country.
Former true believers are dropping out like flies.

From Lee Iacocca's new book, Where Have All The Leaders Gone?

"The President of the United States is given a free pass to ignore the Constitution, tap our phones, and lead us to war on a pack of lies. Congress responds to record deficits by passing a huge tax cut for the wealthy (thanks, but I don't need it). The most famous business leaders are not the innovators but the guys in handcuffs. While we're fiddling in Iraq, the Middle East is burning and nobody seems to know what to do. And the press is waving pom-poms instead of asking hard questions. That's not the promise of America my parents and yours traveled across the ocean for. I've had enough. How about you?"

That can't be true. Off the top of my head I can thing of, oh, 6 USAs that are FS members. Now, I can see they might want to drop their membership shortly before getting appointed or just not mention their membership or whatever but I'd guess that most of the current USAs have been members at some point. Odd all around.

Jillian wrote on April 13, 2007 4:56 PM:

No, the moniker "Federalist" probably points mostly at the fact that they abhor/deny/refuse the Reconstruction Amendments- particularly the 14th.

If you look at the jurisprudence of the past 60+ years, the decisions that 'conservatives' hate are for practical purposes all ones that interpret and extend rights defined in Section 1 of the 14th Amendment. Brown v Board, Griswold v Connecticut, Loving v Virginia, Roe v Wade, Lawrence v Texas, Baker, Goldman, Goodridge v DPH, all the capital punishment restriction verdicts, birthright citizenship etc. Conversely, all the verdicts they love (Santa Clara v Pacific Railroad, Plessy v Ferguson, Richardson v Ramirez, Bowers v Hardwick, etc etc) are corrupt readings of the 14th.

The laws they hate most- affirmative action implementation (derived from a '60s lawsuit defining an 'affirmative duty'), the VRA, Title 9, and so on- are all Congressional uses of the powers defined by Section 5 of the 14th Amendment (it's really just an enforcement clause for Section 1, but they hate it because it overrides the states' "rights"). The laws they love, e.g. the PATRIOT Act, are created under Section 5 but in effect diminish Section 1 Immunities and Privileges Clause rights (that's that clause that nominally extends Bill of Rights rights to all Americans).

"Strict constructionism" and "Originalism" and such are all efforts to roll back 14th Amendment rights, i.e. rights of minorities. John Dean says Bill Rehnquist's 1968 definition of Strict Constructionism is for the government to bias with the prosecution in criminal cases and the defendants in civil cases and civil rights suits. (Add the appropriate skin colors and political views.)

Of course, once you have government that doesn't guarantee anyone fairness, you have a society that disintegrates into acrimony, incivility and society-destroying contests of the powerless against the powerless and the powerful against other powerful groups. It becomes an anarchy and descent into increasing barbarism and overt immoralism. (Isn't that the story of every Republican Administration since 1968?) But in such a grossly unfair society, to keep it generating wealth and organizable power you need an entity to decide all the big conflicts- to put down riots by the underclasses against each other, to decide how Exxon and Mobil and Texaco split the petroleum-based gouging of the average consumer, to create distractions overseas. Voilá, an Imperial Presidency to the rescue of the neocolonialist enterprise.

IOW, the Federalist Society is in fundamentally anti-Constitutional. That it gets any say in American jurisprudence is a sad joke- a reflection of the society being democratic at heart and allowing for profound idiocy and barbarism in pinstripe shirts and pantsuits when in sufficient numbers. On paper these oh-so-Constitution-loving people should simply be expelled to countries of the level of social and political and economic barbarity that they prefer. Unfortunately, we don't have the time machines to send them back to 17th or 18th century Britain, where most of them would feel at home. Maybe Uzbekistan would be good contemporary replacement, or Uganda, or rural Columbia....

Still the two questions remain (1) why is membership in the Federalist Society listed at all in the column head on the chart? (2) why are so few USA's identified as members?

We've all been speculating about (1) presumably being a plus in whatever rating scheme because of its radical leanings. That being the case, it would follow that no USA was kept on board or dismissed on that basis. Ceertainly not based on this chart.

Jeffersonrollsinhisgrave wrote on April 13, 2007 5:56 PM:

It is very, very important to avoid the ad hominem nonsense and get to the heart of the issue. The Federalist Society is, for the most part, in favor of taking Constitutional Law back to before the New Deal, even before Teddy Roosevelt. Read their papers. Go to their websight. They bristle when it is suggested that they yearn for a return to the "Constitution in exile," a phrase they've been tagged with for years. They deny it and suggest it is a strawman hung around their necks by liberals. Ok, pick another name. Whatever. The fact is, under a Federalist Society member's view, kiss off the FDA, Department of Education, EPA, Department of Labor and, Heaven forbid that we have an Anti-trust division in the AG's office. FTC...history. These folks are all about limiting the federal government's power and reverting to an 1880's perspective. (Read a copy of "The Jungle" to find out how well that worked.

That's pretty much it. We're not talking Reagin conservatives. We're not even talking Goldwater conservatives. These folks are smart, very serious and they are dangerous to any form of 21st century view of an involved federal government. The issue is not that membership is a litmus test, the issue is that our "caring conservative" administration never told us about it and what it really means.

Go ahead, Google Federalist Society and check them out.

"Rather than assist the left in creating a conservative bogeyman, here is a user-friendly defense of the Federalist Society: Again, the words are Orrin Hatch's. The Federalist Society stands for three propositions, he said: "that government's essential purpose is the preservation of freedom; that our Constitution embraces and requires separation of governmental powers; and that judges should interpret the law, not write it. For the vast majority of Americans, these are not controversial issues."
As Orrin Hatch concluded in his speech three years ago: The Federalist Society is "not quite the vast right-wing conspiracy hobgoblin some [Democrats] would have the American people believe." And it's nothing that a Republican White House should appear to repudiate.

Mr. Miranda, former counsel to Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, is founder and chairman of the Third Branch Conference, a coalition of grassroots organizations following judicial issues. His column appears on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays."

This is a quote from P.O'Neil's reference. I'm not sure what his point is, but I know when Orin Hatch speaks up, and Bill Frist's former counsel defends it, its time to worry. These people are dead serious, NOT crazy, and willing to push the envelope. Be afraid. Be very, very afraid.

If anyone has any spare time on their hands for reading, pick up a copy of True Believer by Eric Hoffer.

One of Hoffer's stated aims in writing the book was to analyze how Nazi Germany came to be. Hoffer's analytical writing and concise writing is heady stuff, but you will be amazed at the parallels to what we have seen with the spate of "think tanks" and similar entities, like the Federalist Society, that exist today. It's all laid out in Hoffer's book.

..An American’s hatred for a fellow American (for Hoover or Roosevelt) is far more virulent than any antipathy he can work up against foreigners. It is of interest that the backward South shows more xenophobia than the rest of the country. Should Americans begin to hate foreigners wholeheartedly, it will be an indication that they have lost confidence in their way of life.

....

Fanatic Christianity puts its imprint upon the ancient world both by gaining adherents and by evoking in its pagan opponents a strange fervor and a new ruthlessness. Hitler imposed himself upon the world by promoting Nazism and by forcing the democracies to become zealous, intolerant and ruthless. Communist Russia shapes both its adherents and its opponents in its own image.

Thus, though hatred is a convenient instrument for mobilizing a community for defense, it does not, in the long run, come cheap. We pay for it by losing all of the values we set out to defend.

Perhaps you might do some Googling yourself. You might run across this particular site:
http://writ.news.findlaw.com/commentary/20060109_bergen.html

An excerpt:
All these declarations echo the refrain Bush has been asserting from the outset of his presidency. That refrain is simple: Presidential power must be unilateral, and unchecked.

But the most recent and blatant presidential intrusions on the law and Constitution supply the verse to that refrain. They not only claim unilateral executive power, but also supply the train of the President's thinking, the texture of his motivations, and the root of his intentions.

They make clear, for instance, that the phrase "unitary executive" is a code word for a doctrine that favors nearly unlimited executive power. Bush has used the doctrine in his signing statements to quietly expand presidential authority.

His signing statements, if you are too busy yourself reading cereal boxes and not familiar with them, are his way of "decider"ing what he wants the law to mean rather than what Congress intended. Contrary to your own notion that the UE is simply "an interesting academic concept" in the hands of Bushco it has become a synonym for dictatorship by subterfuge.

An excerpt:
The administration has offered as its blanket defense to the charge of law-breaking an updated version of Richard Nixon’s “When the president does it, that means it’s not illegal.” George W. Bush’s authority as commander in chief of the armed forces, they tell us, means that he can ignore any law he pleases if he finds some connection to national security. In the case of Jose Padilla, they argued that the president has the sole discretion to decide who is an “enemy combatant,” and if he so chooses he can have an American citizen seized in Chicago and thrown into prison for life with no trial. If he finds the FISA law inconvenient or outdated, he is under no obligation to come to the legislative branch to change the law; he can simply choose to ignore it. As Bush explained, “The FISA law was written in 1978. We’re having the discussion in 2006. It’s a different world.” Indeed.

Academic concept? Indeed.

John Rogers wrote on December 29, 2007 11:30 PM:

The Federalist Society maintains that they espouse the beliefs of James Madison. That's a lie because the main author of the Federalist papers was Alexander Hamilton who was by his words a believer in White supremacy and thought that only the elite white ruling class were fit to rule, as the middle and lower class white would be overcome by greed if given a chance to rule. The Federalist Society's " Rule of Law " is base on Hobbes Law, as racist who's views Alexander Hamilton said were correct, and that those who own everything should by natural selection be the ones who should rule. The Federalist Society end game is to finnaly corner the 1st amendment, and then to bring back slavery in the form of corporate prisons where millions of Americans will be housed as low paid worker slaves of the future
