"What’s ironic is that you have the leader of the Catholic church speaking out against war and against the way that immigrants are being treated. That shows this co-option of the Christian identity by Opus Dei to be a complete fallacy; it’s all for political expediency. It’s about these people’s own deeply authoritarian and conservative views about how the world should be run."

"People like Kevin Roberts, the president of the Heritage Foundation [and the force behind Project 2025], is a regular at the Opus Dei centre in central DC and gets his spiritual direction from them. You’ve got Leonard Leo, who helped to orchestrate the conservative takeover of the supreme court and sits on the board of the Opus Dei centre in central Washington. The list goes on."

Accountable.US found ties between Leonard Leo and the following groups or their lawyers that filed amicus briefs in the 14th amendment case:
🔸Citizens United,
🔸the Public Interest Legal Foundation,
🔸the Claremont Institute,
🔸Landmark Legal Foundation,
🔸Judicial Watch,
🔸Jones Day,
🔸Wyoming’s secretary of state Chuck Gray and
🔸America’s Future.“It’s no surprise that #Leonard #Leo is backing efforts to support Trump at the supreme court,” said Accountable.US president Caroline Ciccone.
“Leo helped Trump draw up his supreme court nominee shortlist – many of whom are justices on the bench set to hear this critical case
– and now, Leo’s deploying his rightwing network in support of Trump as he faces consequences for his violent insurrection. It couldn’t be clearer where Leo stands.”🔸Citizens United, a conservative group whose name is synonymous with the 2010 supreme court ruling that allows unlimited political spending by outside groups and corporations, filed a brief alongside Steven Calabresi, Leo’s fellow co-chair of the Federalist Society.
Other lawyers tied to the society are signed on to the group’s brief as well.🔸The Public Interest Legal Foundation’s brief is co-filed with a man who has been featured in more than 100 Federalist Society events, and the group has received funding from groups tied to Leo.
🔸The Claremont Institute has also received funds from groups tied to Leo’s funding network, and the brief’s author wrote a book that includes a quote from Leo on the back cover and featured in society events.
Leo has complimented the chairman of the 🔸Landmark Legal Foundation as a “great patriot” and “our old Federalist Society stalwart”.
The 🔸Judicial Watch president is also president of the 🔸Council for National Policy, which Leo has reportedly been involved with.
🔸Jones Day, a conservative law firm whose attorneys authored an amicus brief for the National Republican Senatorial Committee, has given money to the 🔸Federalist Society, and the firm is where Leo, Trump and others met to come up with a list of supreme court candidates.
The lawyers who filed 🔸Wyoming secretary of state Gray’s brief include a Federalist Society contributor who’s received a fellowship from the group.
🔸America’s Future has gotten funding from a group that’s exchanged millions with Leo’s financial network.
