Super big congrats irish!!!
Also pretty much agree with Wasp. I think it’s more about getting the political/judicial position as a Fedsoc member that will likely require a stance siding with whatever the conservative majority party is at that time.

Yeah, that's fair. I guess I need to think about it more assuming I start law school in the fall. I really want to clerk and that seems like the best option.
BUT i think once you get the position, you’ll have more leeway in making decisions more liberally. Sort of like how ACB and Gorsuch sometimes swing left after being portreayed in the media as far right (not sure if that was actually the case though).
From the perspective of someone who interned at the White House, I will add that my bosses always told me to “be careful about my resume.” Don’t want to align with any org that doesn’t fit your values because you won’t be trusted by the other side until you show them you’re legit again, and word travels in DC.

I mean I highly highly doubt I'll become a federal judge, it's more just about getting a leg up in getting opportunities in the first place
Not sure how that true that is in practice and sorry for the long messages💀

And, yeah, that's fair. Right now my resume probably looks like it's from someone who is center-right
Honestly, it just depends on your values. If you ever see yourself being a dem member in any capacity, then MAYBE stay away. But like you just said, there’s a possibility to look moderate with the right WE post law school.

Yeah, that's true as well. As a side note, it's very cool you interned with the white house, I know those internships are incredibly hard to get

A lot of conservativism right now is also just be as aggressive and unwilling to compromise in decision making right now because the left is out there in lets appeal to 1% of the population land so proposals brought to the table by them are 1, insane and 2, all or nothing proposals with no compromise.

It's a bad time to be partisan really in any way.
I had to apply 4 times and got off the WL so I barely got it. It was a cool exp but def not any work crazier than you would see on capitol hill or any political org imo.

the 1% argument is crazy dk
Even the the wh internship is good on the resume, the legal assistant work is more practical. It was tuff to make a why law with no direct law exp
@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: yooo i got a BL interview on monday even with ass grades somehow lol

only 5% of the country identifies as queer. about 12% percent of the US identifies as black. are those numbers low enough for that argument too like what
Just glad the biden admin existed durin my time in college bcuz they had a focus on not being elitist. Prbly never wouldve got it as a normal, low-income uw madison student in the prior admins

@jackfrost11770: Well, those are pretty low numbers and if we take the assumption that a lot of people are single issue voters then I think so.

I mean if a party wants its platform to be something that appeals to a tiny percentage of the population and then ignores everything a larger demographic generally believes in, you probably aren't going to get a lot of votes, compromise, or progress.
