Impeaching Federalist Society Judges Is the Constitutional Response to a Captured Court

The Federalist Society did not stumble into power. It was built for this. Launched in 1982 at Yale and the University of Chicago, it has spent four decades credentialing the lawyers who would become the judges who would convert a Reagan-era policy preference into binding constitutional law. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse documented on the Senate floor that 86 percent of the first Trump administration’s Supreme Court and appellate nominees were or had been members.
