If Judicial Crisis Network put the list together, it's full on conspiracy.
The Secrets of Leonard Leo

Judicial Crisis Network (JCN), the main source of baseless smears against, and false characterizations of, Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland mediamatters.org/stories-and-in…
Judicial Crisis Network poured millions into a campaign to stop the Senate from confirming Barack Obama’s Supreme Court pick. Tax documents show that JCN’s money came almost entirely from yet another secretive nonprofit, the Wellspring Committee mcclatchydc.com/news/crime/art…
It was started in 2005 by a group of arch-conservatives including Ann Corkery: member of the far-right Catholic order Opus Dei; a former director of Bill Donohue’s ultra-right Catholic League; and a board member of Hobby Lobby’s law firm, The Becket Fund thedailybeast.com/billionaires-t…
"Conveniently, Corkery also directs JCN’s leading funder, the Wellspring Committee."
JCN "ran ads thanking Senator @ChuckGrassley (R-Iowa), chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, for “standing strong” and not allowing President Barack Obama’s nominee for the Supreme Court, Merrick Garland, receive a confirmation hearing." opensecrets.org/news/2018/05/g…
Gorsuch, Kavanaugh both went to the same High School and both clerked for Justice Kennedy
"At the center of the network is Leonard Leo of the Federalist Society" who "effectively controls the Judicial Crisis Network"
Neil Gorsuch Has Web of Ties to Secretive Billionaire Philip F. Anschutz. "Mr. Anschutz’s influence is especially felt in his home state of Colorado" nytimes.com/2017/03/14/us/…
Neil Corkery was also a treasurer for National Organization for Marriage which used "big money from few donors to fund undisclosed activity"

...in Colorado. coloradoindependent.com/2011/12/12/nat…
"NOM reported giving grants ... to 11 organizations dedicated to preventing the legalization for same-sex marriage. Two of the donations were for organizations affiliated with NOM: Stand for Marriage DC... was created to reverse the legalization of gay marriage"
"Over the years, NOM has received extensive funding from evangelical Christian organizations such as Focus on the Family and the Family Research Council, and NOM Exposed has linked NOM to the anti-gay-marriage groups the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation and the Arlington Group"
Ann Corkery is also involved with the Catholic League, which also has an axe to grind against @georgesoros, whom they claim is an anti-Catholic "bigot" for funding "liberal" Catholic groups. catholicleague.org/soros-funded-c…
