The Federalist Society is a 501c3 nonprofit, which makes it exempt from taxes but limits its political work; however, the network of politicians, donors, conservative lawyers, and activists with links to the organization are under no such restrictions. “Because of its 501c3 status, it has to very fervently double down on the idea that the organization does not take policy positions, does not help with judicial selection, does not endorse Republican candidates, does not work with the Republican Party,“ Hollis-Brusky explains. "But its individual members in their free time do all of those things. So the Federalist Society only claims responsibility for connecting these folks. For me, it’s a distinction without a difference.”
