At a panel at the Federalist Society Lawyers Convention in Washington, DC earlier this month (where I served the familiar role of token lefty), I was hissed by the audience when I called for "flat out redistribution of wealth." Then I got them to abruptly stop hissing, because they hadn't contemplated all the forms of redistribution that they are, in fact, reconciled and even committed to. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJWdfIHgg8M&t=8491s at 1:39. When I'm in a friendly mood, I say that I speak at the Federalist Society to look for common ground. When I feel less friendly, I say that I go there hoping to make at least some people in the audience feel ashamed of themselves. But these are in some ways equivalent: I can make you ashamed only if you and I hold ourselves accountable to at least some of the same standards.
