Justices Help Federalist Society Celebrate 25 Years
At least four Supreme Court justices are expected to attend the 25th anniversary meeting of the conservative Federalist Society this week.
Justices Clarence Thomas, Antonin Scalia and Samuel A. Alito Jr. are expected to attend Thursday’s dinner at which President Bush will speak, the Washington Post reports.
Meanwhile Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. will speak on Friday, according to the online program. GOP presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani is also scheduled to deliver an address.
The Federalist Society was formed 25 years ago by law students who felt law schools were dominated by liberals. The group has gained in influence and is now a source of conservative lawyers for Republican administrations, the Washington Post wrote in a 2005 profile of the organization.
