Ideas with Consequences: The Federalist Society and the Conservative Counterrevolution: Studies in Postwar American Political Development

Autor Amanda Hollis-Brusky
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 aug 2019
There are few intellectual movements in modern American political history more successful than the Federalist Society. Created in 1982 to counterbalance what its founders considered a liberal legal establishment, the organization gradually evolved into the conservative legal establishment, and membership is all but required for any conservative lawyer who hopes to enter politics or the judiciary. It claims 40,000 members, including five Supreme Court Justices, dozens of federal judges, and every Republican attorney general since its inception. But its power goes even deeper. In Ideas with Consequences, Amanda Hollis-Brusky provides the first comprehensive account of how the Federalist Society exerts influence. Updated in paperback to account for recent developments, this book is the essential guide to the post-Kavanaugh Federalist Society, which continues to broaden its reach at all levels.

Recenzii

Ideas have consequences because they develop in social networks of power and influence. In this impressive work, Amanda Hollis-Brusky shows how the Federalist Society network of lawyers, judges, scholars, and activists successfully pushed American constitutional law to the right. This book is an important contribution to the study of constitutional change."
A valuable, well-researched addition to the growing literature on the conservative legal network. Rich in detail, thoughtful in execution."
Ideas with Consequences is a major achievement. Hollis-Brusky makes skillful use of a large body of evidence within her theoretical framework to illuminate the role of the Federalist Society in shaping legal doctrine in the Supreme Court. In the process, she provides a richer understanding of how political and intellectual networks help to bring about constitutional change."
The Federalist Society takes no positions, files no lawsuits, lobbies no legislators, and gives no political contributions. It is a debating society-though perhaps the most important one in American constitutional history since Hamilton, Jefferson, and Madison had dinner by themselves. In Ideas with Consequences, Amanda Hollis-Brusky shows how a loosely-organized group of lawyers, students, and professors with little of the conventional signs of political power have had such a profound influence on constitutional law. Students and scholars of the Constitution in both law and politics will want to read this book."
A fascinating, convincing, and highly readable account of how the Federalist Society has contributed significantly to the Supreme Court's conservative turn and to fundamental changes in constitutional doctrine."
...this is an excellent account of how an ambitious, and intellectually fearless, organ-iza-tion has proved to be remarkably talented at facilitating constitutional change."
Using rich archival research and interviews with legal elites, Amanda Hollis-Brusky sheds needed light on the Federalist Society. Her analysis shows how it not only helped organize the conservative legal movement but also affected the language and direction of key judicial decisions. The result is a convincing argument that hte ideas formed in the Federalist Society have had, and continue to have, serious consequences.
