Who is this guy?


He is iconic to the Federalist Society (click here). His profile is used for their purposes. I just was wondering who he is that he carries such emblematic clout.

Each month, (click here) a panel of experts convenes to discuss the Court’s upcoming docket sitting by sitting. The cases that will be covered are included below.

Do they utilize the Shadow Docket much? What is their interest in it? I mean they own so many Justices. And at least one wife.

Normally, there is a Mission Statement for an organization this size with as much private money to achieve their goals. But, I can't find one. There is only a list of stuff that includes in it the words "Mission Statement" (click here).

The Federalist Society has it's own "Case Archive." (click here)



Our Purpose (click here)

  • Law schools and the legal profession are currently strongly dominated by a form of orthodox liberal ideology which advocates a centralized and uniform society.  While some members of the academic community have dissented from these views, by and large they are taught simultaneously with (and indeed as if they were) the law.

The Future of NEPA Reform (click here)

As a condition of his vote for the Inflation Reduction Act, Sen. Joe Manchin demanded space for his own permitting-reform package in the latest spending bill. While his proposed legislation was ultimately pulled over objections to aspects tangential to permitting, interest in permitting reform remains strong. The target of many reformers’ ire is the current interpretation of the National Environmental Policy Act: a 1970 statute (click here) designed to ensure that the government gives adequate consideration to environmental impacts before embarking on major actions. While this has had significant benefits for environmental quality, the review process is often long, costly, and subject to aggressive litigation that often stretches for years. Is it time to rewrite portions of NEPA? And, if so, what should those reforms look like?

The attack every aspect of the law regarding the natural world. And we are living on Earth that is on meltdown. The opening for complete reform of Greenhouse Gas POLLUTION into our atmospheres is less than nine years. What is the organization and political action committee even in existence for?
