BONUS: The Federalist Society’s “Pipeline For Power”

In this exclusive MASTER PLAN bonus episode, we speak to former Department of Justice staffer and dark-money researcher Lisa Graves about how the Federalist Society successfully launched an ideological takeover of the federal court system in the early 2000s. Graves details how the conservative group managed to gain massive influence over the Supreme Court nomination process by employing its surrogates throughout the executive branch and legitimizing an “originalist” approach to the Constitution.
