Description
The invitation to speak at the 2010 Federalist Society National Lawyers Convention was especially meaningful to me as I consider myself to be the last of a dying breed. When pressed, I usually have considered myself a moderate, and I have long feared that there are not many of us left. As I listened to my fellow panelists at the Convention, (1) I got the feeling that I was correct. I was also struck, frankly, by what I did not hear. Despite the recent 2010 midterm elections in which Republicans had retaken control of the House of Representatives and substantially narrowed the Democratic party's control of the Senate, there was no elation. I expected the attendees to be energized by these recent victories, but instead I heard a great deal of dissatisfaction with the Constitution, the Congress, and the Supreme Court.
