“Incredible,” said one journalist on Friday of right-wing legal activist Leonard Leo’s reasons for refusing to comply with a subpoena from the Senate Judiciary Committee as the panel investigates conservative Supreme Court justices’ relationships with Leo and other Republican operatives and donors.
The Federalist Society co-chairman told The Washington Post that the subpoena was “politically motivated.”
“I am not capitulating to [committee Chair Dick Durbin’s (D-Ill.)] lawless support of Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse and the left’s dark money effort to silence and cancel political opposition,” said Leo, who has lobbied for the appointments of far-right judges to federal benches, in a statement.
Friendly reminder, 5 out of 9 SCOTUS seem to have taken bribes (from this guy they’re talking about):
- Jane Roberts, who is married to Chief Justice John Roberts, made $10.3 million in commissions from elite law firms, whistleblower documents show Note: It’s not in the title, but he presided over one of their cases.
- Calls for Clarence Thomas Impeachment Vote After Report Exposes Billionaire-Funded Trips
- Kavanaugh accuser Ford testifies she ‘believed he was going to rape’ her & The Mystery of Brett Kavanaugh’s Baseball-Ticket Debt
- FBI interviewed individuals who accuse Amy Coney Barrett faith group of abuse
- Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor’s staff prodded colleges and libraries to buy her books
- Justice Samuel Alito Took Luxury Fishing Vacation With GOP Billionaire Who Later Had Cases Before the Court
- Law firm head bought Gorsuch-owned property
This is incredibly horrible.
I hope he gets what he deserves.
I hope his life is very interesting and he gets treated as he would treat others. :)
The harm this individual has caused is immeasurable.
I can only hope there are consequences.
