The basics of the Federalist Society: We are an intellectual society geared towards understanding and conserving America’s liberal foundation (life, liberty, property, pursuit of happiness). We believe in the importance of the separation of powers, which includes the important role states play in checking federal power. All across the country, the Federalist Society provides a forum for provocative debates by people from across the political spectrum; these debates are nationally esteemed for their serious yet collegial atmosphere, as well as for fostering dialogue between professionals with diverse beliefs. The Federalist Society is not monolithic and it is not synonymous with, or an arm of, the Republican party, the Tea Party, or any other political party. The primary goal of the Valparaiso University Chapter of the Federalist Society for the 2010-2011 school year will be to explore the liberal ideas intrinsic to conservative intellectual movements. The Valparaiso chapter executive board is made up of Bradley Turflinger (president), Luke Krizek (vice president), Ben Ogier (secretary), and David Marusurz (treasurer).
