The Volokh Conspiracy

I thought this lonely post deserved to have at least one comment.

Seriously though, are we living in an age of paranoia? As someone who doesn't find either the Federalist Society or the ACLU to be particularly ominous I don't really understand the antipathy they generate in some circles.

Mr. Barnett clearly was not privy to the secret meetings, in which the leaders of the Federalist Society drink blood and swear oaths to undermine America.

Nor was I. I just see their student members and guest speakers around here, which don't seem all that different from any other group that brings in speakers, and I wonder what all the sinister rhetoric is about.

It probably matters little, but I attended many Federalist Society events during law school and some when I worked in DC (2000-2002) and do not believe I was ever approached to actually join. There were application forms/fliers on a table at each event, but no one seemed to pay any attention to them. Those attending seeemd to cover the spectrum from centrist liberals to libertarians with a few religious conservatives (broadly defined).
One reason it may make more sense to "oppose" the ACLU is simply the fact that it litigates and therefore has specific positions to oppose. Though I think that as a practical matter conservatism (and libertarianism) is better served by opposing specific policies and positions than an organization.

I must say i got here by mistake, but now i know it's destiny.
