View on Goodreads

Pipeline to Power is an Audible Original, about four hours long, written and narrated by Vicky Ward. Its premise is that conservative Yale Law students who wanted to protect their ideas in a liberal environment started something that, over four decades, helped deliver a conservative Supreme Court and Trump's election.

Core ideas
  • From campus to movement: What began as a student effort to protect conservative ideas grew into a key tool of the wider conservative movement, in her telling.
  • The pipeline: You hear how law school, clerkships and judgeships link into a route for identifying judicial candidates and moving them toward the bench.
  • Four students now: She follows four current Yale Law School students with differing ideological views to show how networking and institutional relationships work.
