Yes, I am a history nerd

Former Alabama Attorney General Bill Pryor, who received a recess appointment to the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals last year, is a member of the Federalist Society. So are the state's current AG, Troy King, and U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala.

Am I the only one who's amused that a bunch of conservative lawyers who believe in strict constructionism named their group after the original proponents of loose constructionism?
