The Washington Post [1]reports that members of the [2]American
Constitution Society are likely to be as prominent in the Obama
Administration as members of the [3]Federalist Society were in parts
of the Bush Administration.
Eric H. Holder Jr., an ACS board member, has been nominated to be
attorney general. Executive Director Lisa Brown has been tapped to
be White House staff secretary, a key slot that involves reviewing
all documents that go before the president. Board member Teresa
Wynn Roseborough has been prominently mentioned as a possibility
for several jobs in the Obama administration, including solicitor
general.
"What that means is that the organization's core function of
developing and promulgating legal ideas and social policy will have
a more receptive audience than it has had in the past eight years,"
said Paul M. Smith, a District lawyer who is chairman of the ACS
board.
