  1. Justices #ClarenceThomas & Neil #Gorsuch said they were eager to go further. The 1935 precedent, Justice Thomas wrote, “poses a direct threat to our constitutional structure &, as a result, the liberty of the American people.”

    In its recent emergency orders, #SCOTUS has also signaled that it is now poised to give the president more direct #power over the multimember commissions as well.

  2. #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. politico.com/news/2023/08/22/d

  3. 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/

    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:
