Lat's piece has a lot of interesting analysis, and you should read it. I'll add one thing: I suspect Federalist Society leadership is worried about where to draw the line. Eastman, Hawley, and Cruz are a symptom of a disease that has infected the conservative legal movement.

Eastman, Hawley, and Cruz weren't the only FedSoc members who sought to overturn the election. 18 state attorneys general joined them; most are affiliated with FedSoc. They are the next generation of FedSoc leadership. And they abetted a failed coup.https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/12/trump-doomed-supreme-court-filing-civil-war.html …

Republican state AGs have emerged as the backbone of the conservative legal movement over the last decade. They also provide a training ground for young, ambitious conservative attorneys. FedSoc will not distance itself from 18 Republican AGs; it would be like cutting off a limb.

If FedSoc expels three insurrectionists, why stop there? Why not kick out the MANY more coup-abettors in their ranks? Because it would be self-sabotage. A big chunk of the group attempted to overturn the election or supported those efforts. If FedSoc kicks them out, who's left?

So that's my bet: FedSoc says nothing—and its defenders frame its silence not as cowardice, but as courageous adherence to its position against taking positions. I suspect the vast majority of FedSoc members support this strategy. Anyway, read Lat's piece:https://davidlat.substack.com/p/the-federalist-society-and-the-capitol?r=4ptxa&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&utm_source=twitter …

It feels purposefully naive at best and propaganda at worst to call for the fedsoc to “return to its nonpartisan roots.” Everyone knows what fedsoc is for and about.

The Federalist Society promotes anti-democratic ideology.
