    Federalist Society bigwigs denying their organization is playing a role in picking Trump's judges is weird anomaly worth thinking about. Usually think tanks & policy shops brag about their influence.

        They think they’ll be at risk for corruption links?

        They're maintaining formal separation -- believe Leo is separated from the org for this purpose -- obvious fiction

        Well, eventually it might penetrate the public consciousness that an unelected, unpaid, highly partisan outfit is having an outsized influence on federal judicial policy, and then there might be hell to pay. (There might not be, but why risk it?)

        Not really. Conservative "thinking" nowadays centers on the "we're being oppressed" narrative. Bragging about the power you wield kinda defeats that purpose.

        Leonard Leo is the picker-in-chief, how can they possibly deny it? He belongs on an @splcenter watch-list! https://www.cnbc.com/2018/08/02/leonard-leo-assures-koch-donors-about-trump-judiciary-picks.html …

        The argument being made is that he is a member of the fed soc. But his positions and preferences are not the official choices of the @FedSoc.

        They’re accurately describing the functioning of the organization. Some of its members have tremendous influence, but not because of any formal organizational role.

        The principal difference is right in the name. It’s not a think tank or policy shop. It doesn’t take or have positions. It has members.
