If Christine Blasey Ford’s accusation against Judge Brett Kavanaugh wasn’t suspicious enough already, now audio has emerged of her adviser, Ricki Seidman, describing a plot to “ultimately defeat” Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee.

The audio, which was recorded by the Republican National Committee’s War Room, was taken from a July conference call between Seidman and the American Constitution Society. In the tape, Seidman states that “over the coming days and weeks there will be a strategy that will emerge” that “might ultimately defeat” Kavanaugh. “And whether or not it ultimately defeats the nominee it will, I think, help people understand why it’s so important that they vote,” Seidman concludes.

From Wikipedia:

The American Constitution Society for Law and Policy (ACS) is a progressive legal organization. The group's stated mission is to "promote the vitality of the U.S. Constitution and the fundamental values it expresses: individual rights and liberties, genuine equality, access to justice, democracy and the rule of law."[2]

ACS was created as a counterweight to, and is modeled after, the Federalist Society, and is often described as its progressive counterpart.[3][4][5][6][7]

Founded in 2001, ACS is headquartered in Washington, D.C.[1] The organization promotes and facilitates discussion and debate of progressive public policy ideas and issues, providing forums for legal scholars, lawmakers, judges, lawyers, public policy advocates, law students, and members of the media. ACS reports that it has approximately 200 law school student chapters and 40 lawyer chapters around the country.[8]

History

The American Constitution Society was founded in 2001 by Peter Rubin, a Georgetown Law School professor who served as counsel to Al Gore in the legal battle over the 2000 election. The group was originally known as the Madison Society for Law and Policy. The organization was formed as a counterweight to the conservative Federalist Society. It was founded in order to build a network of progressive lawyers and foster new avenues of progressive legal thought.[1][9] ACS received its initial funding from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation.[1][10] The Democracy Alliance lists ACS as a recommended funding recipient.[11][12]
