🧵 1/4 The Four Horseman of the #RoeVsWade prolife moment:

1. Harry Reid for tanking the filibuster. Thanks, Harry!
2/4 @LeaderMcConnell for tanking petty Stasi operative Merrick Garland. Thanks, Leader!
3/4 #RBG herself who so wanted @HillaryClinton to nominate her replacement she refused to step down. Her hubris gave us #ACB. Thanks, Justice Ginsberg!!

The dark money/court capture group @judicialnetwork just announced a $1.5M ad buy. The ad takes a jab at #KBJ, but mostly peddles a vanity project/film about Clarence Thomas.

The story behind this hagiography + ad campaign is what’s really revealing.

Let’s follow the $$$. 🧵
First, the ad buyer:

JCN is part of Leonard Leo’s web that has raised nearly $600M in recent years to capture the Supreme Court + reshape the law. The ultimate goal: reverse a century of legal precedents disliked by Leo and his super-rich secret funders.
truenorthresearch.org/2022/03/leonar…
JCN’s ad directs viewers to a seemingly revamped site: clarencethomas.com, listing Clarence Thomas as its copyright holder. There you can see the “documentary” “Created Equal.” Here are some of its funders, which we’ll take up one by one.

#BombayHighCourt bench of Justices S S Shinde & N J Jamadar to hear petitions filed by former @MumbaiPolice commissioner #ParambirSingh challenging the #FIR filed against him and also the enquiries ordered against him by @CMOMaharashtra
Sr Adv Darius Khambatta to argue for #Maharashtra govt
Sr Adv Mahesh Jethmalani to argue for #ParambirSingh
Sr Adv Nawroz Seervai to appear for @DGPMaharashtra #SanjayPandey, whom Parambir Singh accused of trying to influence him to take back letter against @AnilDeshmukhNCP
Jethmalani cites difficulty in arguing the matter now. Urges bench to keep the matter by 2:30 pm.

Seervai objects to the request. "This cannot go like this. Either argue now or let's keep it post September 15," he submits.

J Shinde clarifies that the matter won't be adjourned

1/ SCOTUS agrees 7-2 with #ObamaCare critics like @jadler1969 & me (nypost.com/2019/03/28/oba…) that the plaintiffs in #CAvTX lacked standing to challenge #ObamaCare's individual mandate: supremecourt.gov/opinions/20pdf…. GOP appointees Roberts, Thomas, Kavanaugh, Barrett joined majority.
2/ #CAvTX arose after Roberts in #NFIBvSebelius saved the #ACA by interpreting the mandate as a tax. NFIB "gutted the Constitution's political-accountability constraint, which had prevented Congress from creating the mandate via Congress' taxing power." forbes.com/sites/michaelc…
3/ Roberts' opinion indicated that if the Court could not interpret the mandate as a tax, the mandate would have been unconstitutional.

A major win for any American who cherishes our religious liberty. Andrew Cuomo and Democrat elected officials have acted as totalitarians, using COVID19 to strip the people of NY of their fundamental right to worship. Today, the Court said enough is enough
wsj.com/articles/supre…
This summer the Court wrongly ruled that a Nevada law discriminating against religion could stay in place. With #ACB, the Court was able to right that ruling today.
Yet again Chief Justice Roberts was willing to set aside his duty to enforce the Constitution when state or local leaders are hostile to religion under the guise of public health. But thankfully, this time he and the liberal justices lost.

It should be noted that MSNBC did not carry a single second of #ACB's swearing-in ceremony at the White House or a single second of #ACB's remarks after being administered the oath by Justice Thomas.
9:07 p.m. Eastern when Trump, #ACB, and Justice Thomas came out with Trump speaking first. Fox News and CNN carried it.

Here's 9:07:21 p.m. Eastern with Fox News and WGN's #NewsNationTV vs. MSNBC ImageImageImage
And now 9:16 p.m. Eastern when Justice Thomas administered the oath to #ACB.

Here's 9:16:30 p.m. Eastern synched up. Again, this is Fox News and WGN's #NewsNationTV vs. MSNBC ImageImageImage

So, with a South Lawn Ceremony for the swearing in of #AmyConeyBarrett, a few thoughts on how we got here...here being a point where 6 members of the Supreme Court have a generally reliable commitment to an originalist theory of constitutional interpretation.
Obviously, this political/legal development is inseparable from some of the most divisive moments in our recent political history.

But I'm going to do my best to play this straight.
During the #ACB hearing at Senate Judiciary, Senator Durbin lamented a loss of Senate comity that allowed for the near unanimous (and unfilibustered) confirmations of Justice Scalia and Justice Ginsburg.

This is from 7:31:13 p.m. Eastern. Only Fox News is showing @senatemajldr Mitch McConnell's closing speech before the #ACB confirmation vote. CNN was going to a commercial break and MSNBC was in the middle of one ImageImageImage
Now, let's do 7:34:35 p.m. Eastern. Fox is talking about the #ACB vote with @BretBaier and @marthamaccallum. CNN is still in commercial, and MSNBC's Joy Reid did a quick segment about the vote before going to another break ImageImageImage
And now let's try 7:40:30 p.m. Eastern. Fox News and MSNBC are talking about it, but still no CNN. Erin Burnett is interviewing Congressman Cedric Richmond about Biden ImageImageImage

To think that nullifying the rural states by abolishing the #ElectoralCollege was going to solve anything other than manifesting a liberal leadership for decades (as Trump did by nominating #ACB for #SupremeCourt), is to ignore the consquences of the urban-rural migration. 1/X

As all the jobs like in the great cities, people move to the cities. The first consequence: Cities bloat, ready to implode because space is finite. The only action is to expand outwards, while prices downtown skyrocket. In the meantime, the | 2/X
rural areas decay because there are too few people to hire, while everyone is pilgrimaging to the cities. Without jobs, people seek relief elsewhere, such as in drugs, or otherwise become unemployed or criminal. For most, though, they just turn citywards too, leaving behind | 3/X

Biden Says He’ll Clarify Court-Packing Stance before Election – Depending On How Republicans Handle #ACB’s Nomination nationalreview.com/news/joe-biden…
“If there is actually real live debate on the floor, if people are really going to be able to have the time to go through this,” he said.
Did Joe miss the first 3 days of this week? Does he know what day it even is?

“I don’t know anybody who’s gone on the floor who has been a controversial justice in terms of fundamentally altering the makeup of the court that’s gone through in a day kind of thing.”

Given that we are publicly discussing sexual orientation/preference, here is a primer from the peer-reviewed literature. Hint: if you think sexual orientation is immutable you're about 15 years behind. #BillC6 #ACB #SexualPreference Thread. 1/
2/ Orientation is difficult to define: attractions, behavior, personal identity, all possibilities. While often overlapping, not always the case. Furthermore, risks (eg. physical or mental health) are often associated differently for these categories. See researchgate.net/publication/66…

Teens over only three years in longitud. study. “26% of girls and 11% of boys reported fluidity in identity and 31% of girls and 10% of boys reported fluidity in attractions."

“Judge Barrett. Is it illegal to intimidate voters at the polls?” @amyklobuchar

“I can’t apply the law to hypothetical facts. I can’t answer questions like that”

Wow! #AmyConeyBarret refuses to acknowledge the fact that voter intimidation is illegal #ACB
Earlier today, Judge Barrett - Trump’s selection to replace #RBG in the Supreme Court - refused to say #DonaldTrump doesn't have the Constitutional power to unilaterally delay the election.

He does not have that power.

“And so by malice, stealth & brutishness a pattern is set. Less & less transparency. Less & less scrutiny. Less & less accountability. Until they’re entirely unleashed to bundle aside the truth & speak only their truths."

The Democrats Are Flirting with the Destruction of the Judiciary nationalreview.com/2020/10/the-de…
“Today, every instance in which Democrats are denied a political victory is immediately transformed into a national “crisis” in which the public has “lost faith” in a system that worked perfectly fine when they were in power.
Not that long ago, self-interest was a motivation for defending deliberative politics and republican order. But these days, undeterred by reality, partisans have convinced themselves they’ll be in power forever.

NEW: The fight over Judge AMY CONEY BARRETT's confirmation is expected to cost $40M, & possible much more.

But neither side expects the spending to impact the result; it's more about rallying their respective bases in the presidential & Senate races. nytimes.com/2020/09/27/us/…
Most Dems say they won't focus on AMY CONEY BARRETT's Catholicism.

But not all.

@KatieHill4CA claimed that #ACB's fellowship "is straight out of The Handmaid’s Tale.”

Hill told me "it’s about whether she will impose her faith on the American people." nytimes.com/2020/09/27/us/…
SCOOP: On a private conference call Saturday night, @WhiteHouse officials urged religious conservative groups to create "a positive echo for the president’s nomination of Judge AMY CONEY BARRETT," & encouraged them to focus on her family & faith, highlighting this tweet as an ex. Image

Conway is a slimy grifter to be sure. But watching the left turn on him because they refuse to hear, or allow to be spoken, facts which counter their narrative (here, that #ACB is imminently qualified to serve), is still stunning to behold. In the end, leftists will self-destruct
Also abominable, @gtconway3d and @ProjectLincoln spread propaganda to influence you to vote for a party that has no qualms with destroying innocent lives - that shuns the truth and those who tell it.

Conway deserves the consequences.

Sympathy points = 0

Imminently and *eminently* qualified 😊

While we are appropriately celebrating the life of Justice Ginsburg, we should also recall what as been called the Ginsburg Rule for judicial confirmation hearings, dating back to her own confirmation hearing in 1993, presided over by then-Chairman Joe Biden:
“A judge sworn to decide impartially can offer no forecasts, no hints, for that would show not only disregard for the specifics of a particular case, it would display disdain for the entire judicial process.”
Likewise, Model Code of Judicial Conduct, Canon 5 states: “A judge sworn to decide impartially can offer no forecasts, no hints, for that would show not only disregard for the specifics of a particular case, it would display disdain for the entire judicial process.”

The left’s trashing of Amy Coney Barrett is already underway. Readers of the Daily Kos were informed:
“Barrett is a religious extremist, a member of a small sect that takes the inherent misogyny of traditional Catholicism and adds to it the by doubling down with … more misogyny.

Amy Coney Barrett is completely qualified for this position so this will not be an avenue in which Democrats will substantively attack her. They will, however, attack her for her religion. I thought some of these points might be worth knowing. #ACB
She is Catholic, as Antonin Scalia was, and 5 other current Justices.

Clarence Thomas
John Roberts
Samuel Alito
Sonia Sotomayor
Brett Kavanaugh

Neil Gorsuch was raised Catholic, is now Episcopalian. Stephen Breyer and Elena Kagan are Jewish, as was Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
33 Supreme Court justices have been Protestant Christians. 14 have been Catholic Christians. 8 have been Jewish.

The youngest person appointed was 21, the oldest was 67. The youngest person appointed who is currently serving is Thomas at 43.

I’m old enough to remember when Senators attempted, at least in public, to avoid breaking their word. The #SCOTUS confirmation process is broken. #ACB is the jurisprudential inverse of #RBG. But a singular focus on the #SCOTUSnominee is a trap for Dems. twitter.com/i/events/13082…
2. Yes, Dems are angry and engaged, supposedly donating >$161 million through @actblue since #RBG’s passing on Rosh Hashanah.
3. But Dems attacks on #ACB’s faith galvanize the Christian Right and signal contempt for their spiritual identities and aspirations. No word from @WINRED on their donors.

an old saw from Mike Parson’s campaign:
random rural yard signs to
