about the Federalist Society being behind pretty much everything. Dark money from one or 2 American oligarchs goes through the Federalist Society. It has been behind critical race theory, been behind the anti-voter laws in the states.

With that said I did some investigating, Chris Wray, a member of the Federalist Society, needs to be fired. He did not properly vet Brett Kavanaugh. There were 4,500 complaints against Kavanaugh and Wray investigated 10. It so happens that Wray and Kavanaugh were classmates in law school.

No one is sure if Merrick Garland is a Federalist Society member but he did moderate 10 of their events.

The Federalist society calls the shots, not Hawley, Paul, Cruz, or McConnell.
