RADICAL RIGHT -- BUSH TO GIVE KEYNOTE HONORING FEDERALIST SOCIETY:

In 1982, conservative legal scholars such as Antonin Scalia and Robert Bork held the Federalist Society's first National Student Symposium, launching an organization meant to advance the "rule of law." This week, the organization will celebrate its 25th anniversary with a three-day convention, featuring speakers such as Clarence Thomas and John Yoo, along with Scalia, Ted Olson, and Bork. The Federalist Society has experienced a golden era under President Bush, who will, not surprisingly, be giving the keynote address at the organization's black tie gala on Thursday. The Federalist Society has served as a gateway for judges and legal aides who strive to work inside the administration, in effect promoting individuals who have dedicated themselves to enforcing a right-wing ideology rather than the law. When Bush took office, many of his top appointees were current and former Federalist Society members, including Gale Norton (Interior Secretary), John Ashcroft (Attorney General), and Spencer Abraham (Energy Secretary). In 2005, the White House seemed to recognize the dangers in associating too closely with the conservative society. It aggressively resisted media efforts to (accurately) characterize then-Supreme Court nominee John Roberts as a member of the group, going so far as to call and pressure reporters to report otherwise. Apparently, that's all water under the bridge. Roberts is also speaking at the anniversary.
