Trump isn't remaking the Supreme Court. Leo is. huffingtonpost.com/entry/leonard-…
Trump is picking a nominee from a list of 25 ppl ― a list that Leo put together for him. When news broke of Kennedy's retirement, Leo took leave from Federalist Society immediately to begin advising Trump. huffingtonpost.com/entry/leonard-…
“It’s incredible ... I don’t think there’s ever been anything quite like it.” huffingtonpost.com/entry/leonard-…
Neil Gorsuch
Samuel Alito
John Roberts
Clarence Thomas
Antonin Scalia
All but one ― Margaret Ryan, a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces ― are Federalist Society members or have been involved with its events.
That's Carrie Severino of Judicial Crisis Network. They work hand in glove with Leo to get Federalist Society members put onto powerful courts.
They are young, very conservative and have records of being incredibly anti-abortion, anti-LGBTQ rights and anti-voting rights.
That includes a SCOTUS justice + the better part of 20 district judges and a whopping 21 circuit judges ― nearly one-eighth of all circuit court seats.
That's Nan Aron of Alliance for Justice, a progressive judicial advocacy group.
FIN.
