Please come join The Federalist Society and the National Security Law Society for our next event on Thursday, Sep 12 at 6 PM in Rm 184! Government Surveillance and the Fourth Amendment:  Historical Antecedents, and the Impact of Technology on Fourth Amendment Jurisprudence.

[Cornell FedSoc @CornellFedSoc]

Welcome back! Join us on 9/5 at 5 PM in G90. Arizona Supreme Court Justice Clint Bolick will be recounting the battle over school vouchers that culminated in the Zelman v. Simmons-Harris decision. Prof. Michael Heise will also discuss the future of education-related litigation.

OPINION: Nearly 50 years after Roe, Justice Clarence Thomas is our best hope for restoring the Supreme Court to the interpretation of law — and our nation to the inalienable right to life.

BC Law FedSoc looks forward to a lively discussion on the Second Amendment between @alangura and our own Professor Farbman. This event will not be recorded or available for viewing after the event.

@SenMikeLee we would absolutely love to host you for a debate on the Green New Deal with its author, our favorite debate antagonist, @rch371 . Would be a can’t-miss Article 1 event. Any interest?

[Timothy Sandefur @TimothySandefur]

I was asked a really good question at my presentation on Frederick Douglass at @CornellFedSoc yesterday: Did Douglass favor a more in-your-face approach to political activism or a more civil discourse style? A more “out and proud” style or a more “we’re alike, you & I” style?

It was a true blessing this week having our favorite Cornellian, Mr. Leonard Leo, spend time with our national members during his visit to campus!

When people ask us how we get a big-time, national political figure like @rch371 to do our debates, we reply with a simple answer: delectable vegan burritos.

[Robert Hockett @rch371]

Actually our ACS & FedSoc chapters have been led by remarkably thoughtful and well-meaning people. No one seems to come out of these sessions without having reexamined premises they had previously taken for granted. 'Debate' in our case seems actually to function as it ought.

[Cornell FedSoc @CornellFedSoc]

Though busy making national headlines this week, @rch371 stopped by our chapter's event to debate one of our favorite guests, Cornell alumnus @alangura, on campaign finance reform. It was a fascinating and informative event: thank you both for giving us your time and knowledge!

[Cornell FedSoc @CornellFedSoc]

Congrats to a dear friend of Cornell Fed Soc, @rch371! Our favorite, friendly voice of dissent 👍🏼

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Our job is to break up the largest financial institutions in the country, not reward their greed, recklessness and illegal behavior which nearly destroyed our economy.

[Cornell FedSoc @CornellFedSoc]

Wonderful final event of the semester. It was fascinating to listen to @VPhillipMunoz of Notre Dame as he discussed the philosophical foundations of the 1st Amendment and the Supreme Court’s historical interpretations of religious liberty. Great way to end a great semester!

[Cornell FedSoc @CornellFedSoc]

Well-fed friends assembling here to continue @CornellFedSoc’s commitment to fostering productive civic engagement!

@MobyDickatSea Pip looking at the doubloon

[Cornell FedSoc @CornellFedSoc]

@rch371 and @ishapiro both came very well prepared last night for a highly informative discussion about whether the Robert’s Court has a “pro-business bias.” The answer, well, it’s complicated; but that’s why we leave the discussing to the experts!

[Cornell FedSoc @CornellFedSoc]

@LDHerrine @rch371 Our events are typically debates in which we invite a faculty member to offer a countervailing viewpoint

[Cornell FedSoc @CornellFedSoc]

@rch371 You are a beloved regular; we don’t consider you a guest at all, just a go to faculty expert (there were a series of tweets planned about the event, not just that one)

[Cornell FedSoc @CornellFedSoc]

Standing room only left for our event with @ishapiro. What a great turnout for a special guest!
