Noah Feldman
Six of the nine sitting justices of the Supreme Court are current or former members of The Federalist Society - a private, conservative legal organization which has grown to dominate modern American jurisprudence.
Takeover tells the story of how The Federalist Society started as a student club and grew to become the most influential legal organization in US history. Over the last three decades, they managed to shape judicial policy and secure numerous seats for its members on courts of appeals and the Supreme Court. Now at the height of its prominence, the organization faces new challenges and internal divisions threaten to splinter the group as its members debate the core founding principles of the Federalist Society. Author and narrator Noah Feldman, a constitutional law professor at Harvard, host of the Deep Background podcast, and author of several books including The Arab Winter and The Three Lives of James Madison, provides special insight and access into this organization. He takes listeners into the offices and chambers of the people who know the Federalist Society best and illuminates how the group came to power, the challenges it faces, and its future which should matter to everyone.

Noah Feldman has an engaging style, nice use of music in the production. Lots of original, raw audio from essential events and interviews. I hope others adopt this style of audiobook.
A concise history

Credit where credit is due, Noah spends a good deal of time explaining the background of the Federalist Society and includes plenty of interviews from folks who have been there from the beginning. It falls apart when he calls FedSoc members elitists and implies that the influence of their network on judicial appointments is somehow corrupt or inappropriate, all the while getting Russ Feingold to admit he'd love to give President Biden a list of names! This book seems written for a clueless audience wanting to learn more about that Federalist group they heard of on the TV, but it is more likely to be consumed by Progressives looking for affirmation of their fear of and disdain for the Federalist Society in particular and conservatives in general.
Could be titled "Federalist Society Sucks"
