Obamacare has been bad law from the beginning (and Chief Justice Roberts’ 2012 opinion was lawless and indefensible) but conservatives always knew that this wasn't a strong case. /1

As Justice Thomas put it today, “The plaintiffs failed to demonstrate that the harm they suffered is traceable to unlawful conduct. Although this Court has erred twice before in cases involving the Affordable Care Act, it does not err today.” /2

Yet that didn't stop Democrats from deceiving Americans and fear-mongering last fall, saying Justice Barrett was only nominated because she would strike down the ACA. That was crazy talk, and the Left knew it. /3

As part of a continuing effort to pay back the left-wing dark money groups who elected him and Senate Democrats, Joe Biden has nominated Myrna Perez of the Brennan Center for Justice to be a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. /1

whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…

The Brennan Center, which is not required to disclose its donors, has extensive ties to other liberal dark money groups, in addition to being one itself. It has received millions from the left-wing Tides and Open Society Foundations, among others. /2

Perez is director of the Voting Rights Center at the Brennan Center, which has forcefully opposed measures to ensure the integrity of our elections, including any and ALL voter ID measures, as well as efforts to update voter rolls. /3

When I applied to clerk for Justice Thomas I was just finishing my appellate clerkship on the DC Circuit with Judge Sentelle. I was thrilled to get an interview, but nervous about broaching the fact that I was three months pregnant. /1 #CTLive

Would he not want to hire someone who was getting ready to have a baby? After getting advice from people who knew him I decided to just tell him in my interview (I wasn’t showing yet). His response was so illustrative of his character. /2 #CTLive

He told me that one of the perks of being a Supreme Court justice is that he could hire anyone he wanted for whatever year he wanted. /3 #CTLive

Now that SCOTUS has granted review in New York Rifle & Pistol Association v. Corlett and Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, Democratic politicians and left-wing dark money groups are ramping up their court-packing threats. /1

@SenWhitehouse

Of course, the Left’s attempts to intimidate the Court are nothing new.

We saw the same court-packing threat from @SenWhitehouse in 2019 when he and other Senate Democrats filed an amicus brief in a case involving a Second Amendment challenge to a New York City gun law. /2

@SenSchumer

And who can forget @SenSchumer last year threatening two justices by name: “I want to tell you, Gorsuch! I want to tell you, Kavanaugh! You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price! You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.” /3

"Both White House press secretary Jen Psaki and Paige Herwig, Biden's point person on judicial nominations, previously worked for Demand Justice, which is part of a massive [left-wing] dark money network, the Sixteen Thirty Fund." /1

"Psaki worked as a 'communications consultant' for Demand Justice, according to her executive branch personnel financial disclosure report. She was also on the advisory board of Supreme Court Voter, which is a project of Demand Justice" /2

Paige Herwig, Senior Counsel to the White House who leads the Biden administration's judicial selection efforts, "was one of Demand Justice's first hires." /3

@Sen_JoeManchin

My organization is running a new ad urging @Sen_JoeManchin to vote NO on Vanita Gupta, citing her massive stake in a company that manufactures a key ingredient in the production of high-grade, China White heroin. /1

Vanita Gupta owns between $11 and $55 million dollars in stock in Avantor, a company that manufactures an essential ingredient used to make heroin and meth.

Gupta's father is also the chairman of the board of Avantor. /2

According to a Bloomberg investigation, Avantor produces and sells a key ingredient in Mexico known as acetic anhydride that Mexican drug cartels have used to mass produce high-grade, “China white” heroin and meth. /3
