This process has caused professional conservatives to lose their minds. I guess because the thing they were supposed to get out what they see as the indignity of being in business with Trump was this? They feel like they are the ones who have been punished twice. https://twitter.com/michaelcrowley/status/1045131991635709952 …

Ross DouthatVerified account @DouthatNYTReplying to @yeselson @mattyglesias @jbarroThe model depends on conservatives existing relatively comfortably within elite legal academia, accepted by its mandarins as a legitimate legal school among other schools.

The thing is the model almost worked. I mean early on you had Yale liberals praising Kavanaugh. It got derailed because of the allegations but I think Trump had someone without this baggage we'd be marvelling at the genius of FedSoc.
