Well look who maxed out donations to vulnerable Republican senators just as Amy Coney Barrett's confirmation hearing was in the works: the Federalist Society board chairman. huffpost.com/entry/federali…
FEC reports show Steven Calabresi, the co-founder and chairman of the Federalist Society, gave the maximum contribution allowed to six GOP senators in tight races between Oct. 9-19th.
Barrett’s confirmation hearing was Oct. 12- 15th. She was voted out of committee on Oct. 22.

Which six GOP senators got Calabresi's donations at a time when the Federalist Society really needed their votes?
Republican Sens. Martha McSally (Ariz.), Cory Gardner (Colo.), David Perdue (Ga.), Kelly Loeffler (Ga.), Thom Tillis (N.C.) and Lindsey Graham (S.C.).

I wonder what message it sends to a GOP senator in a tight race when the Fed Society chair maxes out $ to your campaign amid a fight over a Fed Society member up for a Supreme Court seat.
Maybe... you'd better vote for her if you want to benefit from our big dark $ network?
