Federalist Society Will Support Trump - Who Are These Traitors?

I heard on CNN that there are 2 camps in the GOP's "legal profession". They said the Federalist Society will definitely defend Trump.

Who are these traitors who could care less about the constitution, the law, and America's future?

You can't respect "law" and support Trump in any way.

Stop pretending.

Their whole reason for being is to provide a pre-vetted conservatively-correct judicial farm team for the Republicans.

By creating an ideologically-reliable pipeline, they could crowd non- or insufficiently-conservative jurists out of the selection process.

Funds this group.

The American Bar Association used to vet nominees for being a judge. These guys have taken over that roll.
