I don’t really understand why you think the Federalist society is some secret society cabal. I signed up in law school. It cost 5 bucks and they gave us pizza and brought in professors to have debates. Maybe my experience is different than others, but it’s literally just a law school club.

It's a law school organization with an agenda, especially at prestigious schools like Yale Law School and Harvard Law School, but there's nothing illegal or improper about its objectives.

You’re right. But every law school club has a certain agenda. Obviously fed Soc will have a less popular agenda, and rightly so, but it is literally just a law school club. It’s not a secret society.

No, from what I've read, for years, Federal Society graduates have worked hard to get their members in key positions, much more than the ordinary law school organization. I didn't say it was a secret society, but in terms of exercising influence to help its members, it does remind me of societies like Skull and Bones.
