Created in 1982 to counterbalance what its founders considered a liberal legal establishment, the organization has now become the conservative legal establishment, and membership is all but required for any conservative lawyer who hopes to enter politics or the judiciary. It can claim 40,000 members, including four Supreme Court Justices, dozens of federal judges, and every Republican attorney general since its inception. But its power goes even deeper. In Ideas with Consequences, Amanda Hollis-Brusky, an expert on conservative legal movements, provides the first ever comprehensive documentation of how the Federalist Society exerts its influence. Drawing from a huge trove of documents, transcripts, and interviews, she presents a series of important legal questions and explains how the Federalist Society managed to revolutionize the jurisprudence for each one. Many of these questions--including the powers of the federal government, the individual right to bear arms, and the parameters of corporate political speech--had long been considered settled. But the Federalist Society was able to upend the existing conventional wisdom, promoting constitutional theories that had previously been dismissed as ludicrously radical. Hollis-Brusky argues that the Federalist Society offers several of the crucial ingredients needed to accomplish this constitutional revolution. It serves as a credentialing institution for conservative lawyers and judges, legitimizes novel interpretations of the constitution through a conservative framework, and provides a judicial audience of like-minded peers, which prevents the well-documented phenomenon of conservative judges turning moderate after years on the bench. Through these functions, it is able to exercise enormous influence on important cases at every level. With unparalleled research and analysis of some of the hottest political and judicial issues of our time, Ideas with Consequences is the essential guide to the Federalist Society at a time when its power has broader implications than ever"--|cProvided by publisher. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 610 20 Federalist Society for Law & Public Policy Studies (U.S.) |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n85367504 610 27 Federalist Society for Law & Public Policy Studies (U.S.) |2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/610499 650 0 Law|xPolitical aspects|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85075298|zUnited States.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n78095330-781 650 0 Judicial review|zUnited States.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2008106245 650 0 Conservatism|zUnited States.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2008100007 650 7 Law|xPolitical aspects.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/993795 650 7 Judicial review.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 984727 650 7 Conservatism.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/875582 650 7 Law.|2homoit|0https://homosaurus.org/v3/homoit0000702 651 7 United States.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204155 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aHollis-Brusky, Amanda.|tIdeas with consequences|z9780199385522|w(DLC) 2014011196 |w(OCoLC)876882466 830 0 Oxford studies in postwar American political development. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2011170150 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=916677|zOnline eBook via EBSCO.
