5 of today’s justices personally & significantly #benefited from the consequences of the ruling, including by accepting jobs or appointments under #Bush’s admin [add Neil #Gorsuch to the above list]. Not only have none of these #conservative jurists expressed remorse about their actions or the decision, w/ #MooreVHarper they have in fact normalized the court’s meddling so that if the opportunity arises, they can do so again.

#DC #AG is probing #LeonardLeo’s network. #FederalistSociety co-chair & ex-Trump #judicial adviser has utilized nonprofit groups to collect more than $1 billion for #conservative causes. Best known as #Trump’s WH “court whisperer,” Leo played behind-the-scenes role in nominations of all 3 of former prez #SCOTUS justices, promoted them through his multi $B network of nonprofits. Trump chose his 3 #SCOTUS picks, #Gorsuch, #Kavanaugh #ConeyBarrett from list drawn up by Leo. https://www.politico.com/news/2023/08/22/d-c-attorney-general-is-probing-leonard-leos-network-00112331

I also maintain that all the #Trump appointed #SupremeCourt justices should also recuse themselves from a case involving #Meadows removal motion. I believe that they all have a conflict of interest, since they either have actual personal reasons not to treat efforts by #Trump, and by extension #Meadows, to overturn the election as criminal or their impartiality on the question is suspect. But I seriously doubt whether #Thomas, #Gorsuch, #Kavanaugh or #ConeyBarrett would recuse. 6/

CW: Long thread/8
After spending $27m to block confirmation for Obama's #SCOTUS pick, #MerrickGarland, they spent tens of millions more on campaigns to seat #Kavanaugh and #Gorsuch. #ConeyBarrett was seated thanks to a $15.9m campaign to make an unqualified, unhinged ideologue seem like a viable lifetime member of the highest court in the land:
