(CNN)Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee, Appeals Court Judge Amy Coney Barrett, has been part of a shadowy group that recruits like-minded people and seeks to impose strict, even extreme, control over those below them. The group is ultra-conservative and is well on its way to taking control of your sex life, your family life, your economic rights, your voting rights.

I am not referring to any religious group -- attacks on Judge Barrett's religious affiliations are, in my opinion, unfair, unwarranted, and unwise. As a faithful Catholic myself, I defend Judge Barrett's right to belong to the ecumenical People of Praise and for that association to never be held against her.
What I do hold against her is that she has been part of a different group -- one far more powerful than a religious organization: The Federalist Society. Barrett was a member from 2005-06 and 2014-17. She ended her membership when she joined the appeals court, but she continues to be a panelist and speaker at Federalist Society events.
