More on the mutual masturbation of the Federalist Society 2006 Convention

preaching to the choir - a bushco specialty...

Election? What election?

[...]

As Cheney said, to big, big applause from the audience of more than 600: "And I assure you, nothing that's happened in the last two weeks" -- what election? -- "will change [President Bush's] commitment to nominating first-rate talent like John Roberts and Sam Alito."

oh, gag me with a spoon... particularly when i read something like this little snippet of orgasmic praise...

Cheney's comments drew a standing ovation. "It was a great speech by a great leader," said J. Michael Wiggins, the former No. 2 lawyer in the Department of Homeland Security. "That's what's great about the vice president, having the courage to do what's right and what we're obligated to do, regardless of whether it's politically popular."

cheney must love the federalists... if he'd been wearing a blue dress, he would have left with a tell-tale stain...

The annual three-day convention was the time to take stock of how far the Federalists have come since they set out to change the debate in America 24 years ago -- another longish game, which they are playing superbly.

The Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy Studies started with a group of conservative and libertarian law professors and students in the Midwest and elsewhere who saw what they believed was a great liberal-activist orthodoxy ensconced everywhere from the classroom to the courtroom. The Federalists believed in limited government, separation of powers and, as stated in their intellectual battle slogan, that "the province and duty of the judiciary is to say what the law is, not what it should be."

Now the group claims about 40,000 members and associates, student chapters on all 180 or so law school campuses, and 70 more chapters for lawyers and judges. The budget from foundations, individuals and corporations is about $7 million.

they may believe in limited government... i wonder what their opinion is on totalitarian government...?
