elon and trump realize there are many fish in the sea, and sometimes u can't just 'make it work'

Nah, I did not vote. I have never voted in my life because I have a lot of issues with it. 4 years ago my mom filled out my ballot for me because she wanted to but I do not vote.

@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: Out of curiosity, since you're in law school and prolly know fedsoc people, how conservative do you think you have to be to be in fedsoc? Like is a david french sort of conservative fairly common in it, or is it the maga type people mainly

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

17:46

i dont interact with any fedsoc people, but i dont know any maga people at cornell. but the student body overwhelmingly leans left, so i think they might not be comfortable showing that theyre conservative if that makes sense?

one time a guy kind of crashed out about masks in conlaw

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

17:46

but that's the most ive seen

texaslawhopefully

17:47

Yeah, that does make sense. I would like to join fedsoc, but I'm also, clearly, very opposed to Trump and where the GOP has gone.

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

17:48

if you join fedsoc and go for clerking and eventually become a judge. you will be pinholed into maga politics as long as maga is the predominant conservative stance

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.

texaslawhopefully

18:07

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.

ImpartialLion

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.

texaslawhopefully

18:10

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

ImpartialLion

18:10

Not sure how that true that is in practice and sorry for the long messages💀

texaslawhopefully

And, yeah, that's fair. Right now my resume probably looks like it's from someone who is center-right
