2012: Judicial Ed Project amicus brief in Shelby County v. Holder, challenging a landmark civil rights law protecting minority voters. The court struck down.. in the Voting Rights Act that determined which states had to obtain federal clearance before changing their voting rules.

Clark of Washington U said that if the Judicial Education Project paid Ginni Thomas $100,000 in the year and a half before it filed its brief, the size and timing of the payments would have been enough to cast doubt on Clarence Thomas’s impartiality and require his recusal.

The president of the Judicial Education Project that year was Neil Corkery, a Leo ally and bookkeeper for several of his nonprofit groups. Corkery certified on the group’s 2012 tax filing that no one other than the group’s officers or key employees had control over the nonprofit.

The 85 Fund, also known as the Honest Elections Project, and formerly known as the Judicial Education Project.

Senate Democrats held a hearing focused on Supreme Court ethics. Chief Justice Roberts Jr. declined invitation to testify, offering instead a statement signed by all the justices in which they reaffirmed their commitment to abide by “foundational ethics principles and practices.”

Leo advised Thomas through his confirmation process in the early 1990s and made Thomas the godfather of one of his children.

At a Federalist Society event in 2018, Thomas shared a stage with Leo and jokingly told him, “You’re the Number Three most powerful person in the world.”

2009: Thomas founded Liberty Central, Leo on the board, Corkery was the accountant.

Thomas stepped away from Liberty Central in 2010 amid controversy.

She formed Liberty Consulting.

Liberty Consulting began receiving payments from Conway’s firm within months of its creation in 2011. "Polling Company"

(Conway sold the company in 2017 to what is now known as CRC Advisors, another firm that Leo chairs.) @SenWhitehouse 💯
