In addition to Bill Barr, Opus Dei has another man in Washington. Leonard Leo has chosen more federal judges and justices than most popes choose cardinals. Just call him Leo XIV
washingtonpost.com/graphics/2019/…
Leonard Leo apparently has raised $250 million to influence the composition of the federal judiciary. That kind of dough will buy him a lot of judges and justices.
Why is it that a Republican president has never appointed a Jewish justice to the Supreme Court? Does the Opus Dei crowd think that all Jewish judges are “militant secularists” simply because they are capable or reading the establishment clause?

Debate question:
The Twin Metals sulfide mine-- owned by Jared & Ivanka's D.C. landlord -- will destroy the Boundary Waters. @Amyklobuchar is one of a very few Democrats in Congress who support the mining company. Why?

wsj.com/articles/a-dem… via @WSJ
@amyklobuchar @WSJ Trump position on sulfide mining near the Boundary Waters: Let the "rigorous environmental review process" by federal and state regulators decide if they can open the mine.
@amyklobuchar position: Same.
@JoeBiden: What mine?
@ewarren and @SenSanders position: No F---ing way!
@amyklobuchar @WSJ @JoeBiden @ewarren @SenSanders EPA protocol on sulfide mining in the Boundary Waters: The "rigorous environmental review process" is expedited if the owner of the mine leases a $10 million house in D.C. to Jared & Ivanka on favorable terms.

What's the end game in the Catholic identity politics of Bill Barr and his supporters?
Try to prove that Biden is a bad Catholic and that Catholics cannot vote for any Democrat.
Win election.
Pack courts.
Reverse Roe and more. Much more.

@USATODAY Object to this scheme and they call you an anti-Catholic bigot.
@USATODAY When will Catholics in Trump's White House be denied communion because they support separating kids from parents at the border?
The answer will probably be that "internment camps are not a core part of Church doctrine."
We already know that. We learned that in 1945.
Never again.

People of Praise is another far right group. Women members are assigned a "handmaid" before they marry and become subordinate to husbands.
If you ask questions of members nominated for the federal courts, you get called a "militant seculariist" or bigot.

Dr. Adrian Reimers of Notre Dame identified cult like characteristics in People of Praise.
A ND link to his article worked a year ago, but doesn't work now.
The archives are still posted on-line. Let's see how long these documents stay in this file.

"Research files concerning People of Praise and other charismatic groups or covenant communities including Sword of the Spirit and Word of God; publications of Free Again in Christ and other cult awareness or cult recovery groups; and related periodicals and audio tapes."

Seit Jahren untersuche ich die US-Rechte: lese ihre Texte, analysiere polit. Entscheidungen, untersuche ihre Biographien - was man halt so macht. Ein Muster begegnet mir ständig: Die permanente Selbst-Viktimisierung, die im krassen Konstrast zur polit. und ökon. Macht steht. 1/
Eve Fairbanks beschreibt nun in einem exzellenten Artikel in der #WashingtonPost, wie weit diese spezifisch konservative Opfer-Rhetorik zurückreicht und wie sie im Antebellum South verwendet wurde, um Sklaverei zu verteidigen. washingtonpost.com/outlook/2019/0… 2/
Denn die Südstaatler sprachen nicht etwa von #slavery: "they anointed themselves the defenders of reason, free speech and civility." Als die wahren Verteidiger von Minderheitenrechten und Freiheit (der Sklavenhalter, wohlgemerkt.) 3/

I wrote this the day #Barr put out his 4 pages. At the time I considered it a "batso crazy conspiracy theory", like for a movie script. Every day which has passed since, has validated it more and more. I don't think Mueller was in on the joke, but it's now clear #Rosenstein was.
QUESTION FOR THE #MEDIA: In what way was #Mueller hindered by the narrow mandate provided by #Rosenstein. What was defined, at the outset or during the investigation, by those above Mueller, as HANDS-OFF.
QUESTION FOR THE #MEDIA: Did #Barr and #Rosenstein shut down #Mueller? Did all the leaks about Mueller wrapping it up come from Barr, Whitaker, Rosenstein, and GOP operatives? Were they a shot across Mueller’s bow?
