Rove Addresses Federalist Society
"Noting that the Senate has confirmed about 200 of Bush's judicial nominees, Rove said that among the president's greatest contributions 'are the changes he's brought about in our courts and our legal culture' and added that 'those changes would not have been possible were it not for the Federalist Society.' The group has so 'thoroughly infiltrated the White House,' he joked, that Chief of Staff Andrew H. Card Jr. had asked him to announce a staff meeting after dinner.
Turning serious, Rove condemned a series of judicial decisions, including a Massachusetts court ruling in favor of same-sex marriage. 'We will see one of two things come to pass,' he said. 'The courts will on their own reform themselves and return to their proper role in American public life, or we will see more public support for constitutional amendments and legislation to rein them in.'"
