Hillary Helps Leftist Lawyers Fight Federalist Society

Left-wing lawyers have long been outraged that the Federalist Society dares to support the U.S. Constitution. Now they're organizing into an opposing organization.

The lefties are creating something they call American Constitution Society for Law and Policy, which would more accurately be called Anti-American Anti-Constitution Socialists Against Law and Policy. Sen. Hillary Clinton and leftist Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg are scheduled to speak to the group this weekend.

There's even a Janet Reno Dance Party planned.

The organization will copy the Federalist Society in recruiting young members at law schools.

"The conservatives have been shrewder in organizing, and the liberals have woken up," fretted Jamin Raskin, a leftist law professor at American University.

A founder of the leftist group, Walter Dellinger, acting solicitor general in the Clinton administration, admitted, "If you lack ideas and lack intellectual rigor, you're going to end up on the losing side of the great legal debates."

"Imitation is a form of flattery," said Federalist Society member John Baker, a law professor at Louisiana State University. "The Federalist Society should be flattered."

This leftist law professor doesn't seem to know his grammar...I believe that 'woken up' should read 'awakened'. These are the very people who criticize President Bush's improper grammar......ironic, isn't it ??

Non-lawyers can also join the Federalist Society. It is not that expensive and you get the Harvard Law Review and breaks on events. I saw Richard Epstein at a debate a couple of years ago.

Well, does have awoke sound any better? Not ! I believe 'have' precluded the 'woke up'.

The Fed Society deserves a contribution for this reason alone.

This is just like the attempt to create a liberal Rush Limbaugh. These people actually believe the outdated vast right-wing conspiracy talking points! I hope they pour lots of money into this.
