Whatever you do, don't show up at Leonard Leo's house or follow him, or harrass him. Please don't do anything like that. #FederalistSociety #LeonardLeo #Fascists #Project2025 #Republicans #GOP #MAGA #Trump #HeritageFoundation youtube.com/shorts/czr7J...
The Federalist Society -
"The Concord Fund — Leo’s confirmation-campaign vehicle — has given RAGA $18.8 million since 2014, including $2 million in the first half of 2024, making it RAGA’s largest single donor. Koch Industries, the American Petroleum Institute, and the American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers have written six-figure checks. The circuit closes at every connection point."

"CRC Advisors, the firm Leo controls, took in $24.9 million from Leo’s 85 Fund in 2023, with $80 million flowing from the network to CRC since Leo took over the firm in 2020.
The fossil fuel industry’s entry into this network runs through the Republican Attorneys General Association, which has received $5.8 million from oil-and-gas companies and their lobbying groups since 2020 alone."

"The Trust gave $153 million to Leo’s Rule of Law Trust in 2021. The Rule of Law Trust gave $36.3 million in grants to allied organizations in 2020 alone, with the Concord Fund — formerly the Judicial Crisis Network, the organization that ran the campaigns to confirm Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett — as the largest single beneficiary."

"Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington has tracked the pipeline across multiple investigations. Leonard Leo’s Marble Freedom Trust, established in 2020, controls a $1.6 billion dark-money fund."

"The seats from which Roberts now operates this mechanism were purchased. I use the word with care. They were purchased through a documented dark-money pipeline that runs from the fossil fuel industry through the Republican Attorneys General Association and the Federalist Society‘s network into judicial confirmation campaigns. The receipts are public."

As Lauren Egan notes, with upcoming empty seats on the Supreme Court anticipated, "the possibility of a Supreme Court confirmation fight has been the subject of rampant chatter among the Washington political class."

"Remember when Amy Coney Barrett said of her colleagues 'we’re not a bunch of partisan hacks?' Well, they are a bunch of partisan hacks. And the number one partisan hack is John Roberts."

"whatever was necessary to advance a conservative, pro-business, pro-religious cultural agenda seemingly dictated by The Federalist Society, the Koch Brothers network of billionaires, and arch-conservative Catholic Leonard Leo."

"In conjunction with other conservative justices (notably Scalia, Alito, Thomas, and Kennedy), Roberts began reshaping long-standing jurisprudence by expanding and contracting the 'strike zone' at will—" (continued in /5)

"The memos leaked to the NYTimes confirm what many court observers have long believed: that Roberts is manipulating the rules of the Court to advance his personal and political beliefs, which are centered around a conservative, pro-business, white Christian worldview."

"The scoop highlights the conservative justices’ brazen disregard for their own rules — both then and now — and the ways in which they are now ignoring the concerns that allegedly animated their action a decade ago."

Isn't it weird that it's easier to find a birthday for Leonardo Leo, an 18th century artist, than it is for #LeonardLeo of the #FederalistSociety infamy?

"Together, they threaten to remove long-standing tools for the public to hold corporations accountable.
A ProPublica investigation has found that most of these bills are part of a coordinated effort, orchestrated by a constellation of groups that share staff or have funding ties to the prominent conservative activist Leonard Leo, who is credited with placing conservative justices on the U.S. Supreme Court."

"Across the country, Republican-led state legislatures are passing a slate of laws that effectively shield oil and gas companies from legal claims that they are responsible for the destruction and mounting toll caused by climate change. Fifteen laws have either been passed or are currently being debated in 11 states.".

"Remember Leonard Leo, the brains behind the carefully constructed conservative majority on the Supreme Court? According to the good people at ProPublica, he’s been a busy little lavishly financed bee hard at work wrecking other parts of the country on behalf of the oil and gas industry."

The #GOP #Congress bears full responsibility - they supported his #WarOfAggression, they ratified his Cabinet choices, establishing manifestly unsuitable Hegseth as the "Secretary of War", and they have refused to use their power of impeachment to address the numerous abuses of power by the White House.
And the #FederalistSociety #SCOTUS has given the White House cover with their rulings. They too are culpable.

In light of the re-emergence of Leonard Leo and the Federalist Society in the news today, I find this posting by Will Sommer yesterday hilarious:
"After months of turmoil and staff resignations, the conservative Heritage Foundation is hiring a former gay porn actor known for his work in such films as 'Jerk-Off Race.'"

Today's Supreme Court ruling atttacking Trump's tariffs has brought Leonard Leo, former v-p of the Federalist Society, into the news. Leo is the kingmaker of the current Supreme Court. Leo has stacked the court with hard-right Catholics closely tied to the right-wing Catholic cult Opus Dei, to which Leo belongs.
As Lucian K. Truscott notes, Leo, was behind the tariff lawsuit that Trump lost.
