From http://www.rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/Federalist_Society

…The Federalist Society seeks nothing less than to reshape the landscape of the U.S. judiciary by promoting right-wing judicial activists in positions of power who will push the country rightward. As communications professor Jerry Landay wrote in his 2000 profile of the group: “With 25,000 members plus scores of close affiliates nationwide-including Supreme Court Justices Thomas and Antonin Scalia, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch, and University of Chicago brain-boxes Richard Epstein and Frank Easterbrook (also a federal appellate judge)-the Federalist Society is quite simply the best-organized, best-funded, and most effective legal network operating in this country, etc.”

…The society’s inside-the-Beltway influence has been the subject of media scrutiny and has been lambasted by critics, which drew sneers from society members like Homeland Security Secretary Chertoff, who said in an interview: “Some people now have taken up the idea that, really, the Federalist Society is kind of like a modern-day da Vinci conspiracy, a secret society that controls all the legal jobs and all the legal decision-making in the administration. And of course that is nonsense.” [No, that's precisely what it is, &c.]
