But, according to their Judiciary Committee questionnaires, both Wray and Kavanaugh each joined the Federalist Society upon starting Yale Law and continued as members up through the Trump administration. Wray was two years behind Kavanaugh at Yale College, and Wray then joined Kavanaugh at Yale Law.

Moreover, in the George W. Bush administration, Kavanaugh and Wray were political appointees and colleagues — Wray was a senior aide to the deputy attorney general, and Kavanaugh was in the White House Counsel’s office. Kavanaugh would have worked closely with the Justice Department on nominations and other confirmation matters and Wray would often have intersected with the White House Counsel’s Office in his position at Justice in the criminal division.

Here is an excerpt from a Politico article on conservative white men becoming high-ups in the federal government and their connections to Yale and the Federalist Society:

“The Federalist Society has famously shaped the federal judiciary since its founding, promoting candidates who follow a small-government, socially conservative and textualist interpretation of the Constitution. Every member of the Supreme Court appointed by a Republican since Clarence Thomas in 1991 has been a Federalist. Trump has bragged that The Federalist Society provided him the list of Supreme Court nominees from which he has so far selected Neil Gorsuch and Kavanaugh. The goal of shaping the federal judiciary unites the Trump and the Never-Trump wings of the Republican Party.”

Another term of art used to describe these conservative devotees who are purposely filtered into top governmental positions is the longstanding preference of candidates who are “Pale, Male, Yale.”
