It is interesting of you to say so. To be fair, I have only ever read less than a handful of their content directly.
However, as a political commentator, I have been coming across them every other week. Always with a right-wing content. They have succeeded in hijacking 3 of the four federal institutions of government: the presidency, the #SupremeCourt, and most recently, the House of Representatives.
Let me therefore give you two more examples:

...renowned historian #HeatherCoxRichardson, wrote about the #FederalistSociety:
"Today’s #SupremeCourt, packed as it has been 👉by right-wing money behind the Federalist Society and that society’s leader, Leonard Leo,👈 is taking upon itself power over the federal government and the state governments to recreate the world that existed before the #NewDeal."

It’s just so funny to hear people talking about the right-wing conspiracy from the Federalist Society when I’ve spent years listening to their left-wing content.
The organization gives voice to so many speakers that are adamantly critical of the right wing. That’s in fact why I listen to them, because they call out the right-wing for being really off the rails.
So it comes across as gaslighting to someone like me.
Or more importantly, it comes across as taking advantage of people’s lack of familiarity to sell a sensationalized narrative while avoiding what’s really going on in the world.

All of these groups promoting conspiracy theories about the Federalist Society, as opposed to simply going through the reasoning in the opinions themselves, are really misleading the public, coming across as if they’ve never actually listened to any FedSoc content.
In reality, the Federalist Society is one of the most evenhanded outfits I know of, presenting both sides of debates, including pro-affirmative action speakers.
Seriously, go pull up their content and give their debates a listen. They are nothing like the evil right-wing monster so many are trying to frame them as.
