@Nadja72638243 Brian Brown, BOD of NOM, w/John Eastman. Brian Brown, Cleta Mitchell, and Eastman to Justice Thomas.
Alito, Kavanaugh met at the court with Brian S. Brown, who runs several anti-gay groups; German Princess Gloria von Thurn und Taxis, and Gerhard Ludwig Müller, a right-wing German cardinal who has said publicly that a “homosexual network” inside the church is responsible for sex.
One of Brown’s groups has filed an amicus brief in cases currently pending before the court—their visit is notable for another, unexpected, reason: All three are in the vanguard of a political, right-wing movement that’s been pushing to topple PopeFrancis.

"NOM has never disclosed its funders, but the leading suspects have been the Catholic Knights of Columbus and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which was active in the Prop 8 fight."
"NOM has been the leading opponent of same-sex marriage in the US, and has also defended the discredited “ex-gay” conversion therapy, opposed legal protections for transgender people and kids, and promoted anti-gay adoption laws." #JusticeKavanaugh
Since losing the battle in 2015 when the Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriages in all 50 states, Brown has taken his war abroad through the Intl Org for the Family, another group he founded to push anti-gay legislation in places with authoritarian govs, like Ru and Hungary🚩
2019: "Brown was apparently responsible for bringing Müller to DC and the Supreme Court. His IOF co-sponsored an event at the Willard Hotel where Müller spoke about his new book, a thinly-veiled critique of the reforms in the church under Pope Francis."

AT MEETING 🚩 Rep. Greg Pence (R-Ind.), the VPs brother.
Princess Gloria von Thurn und Taxis was working with former Breitbart publisher and former Trump adviser Steve Bannon.
The princess introduced Bannon to Müller.
Both Alito and Kavanaugh have close ties to Leonard Leo.
Opus Dei: Justice Scalia, Barr, Cipollone. Leo has had a long history with RW Catholic orgs. He serves on the board of the Catholic Info Center, WA, an outpost of the secretive and powerful Opus Dei (“work of God”), a 91-year-old organization known as the church’s “Holy mafia,”.
Alito, John Gehring
#NapaInstitute is a Catholic nonprofit founded by Timothy Busch, Leonard Leo on BOD
Gehring was surprised to find Alito in the audience for Busch’s kick-off speech back in 2017
🚩 Busch—along with the oil and gas magnate Koch brothers
