Leonard Leo ally Timothy Busch calls SCOTUS the “Leo Court,” explaining that Trump “radically changed” the direction of SCOTUS by appointing (anti-abortion) justices “shepherded” by Leo, who he says is “one of the big supporters of the Napa Institute” (founded by Busch). 1/
2/ These remarks are from the Napa Institute Conference in July 2022. Link. 1/

3/ Napa Institute co-founder Father Spitzer says that he & his fundamentalist Catholic allies (such as Leonard Leo) have a “strong argument” that state constitutional amendments protecting abortion rights violate the “inalienable right to life” in the Declaration of Independence
4/ Post 3 is from the same panel as posts 1-2.
.@SenWhitehouse
5/ Leonard Leo ally Tim Busch opines that state constitutional amendments affirming abortion rights conflict w/ the right to life, which the 14th Amendment added to the US Constitution. He predicts court challenges & mentions both Justice Thomas & his “good friend Charles Koch.”
6/ Here’s the language to which he refers. Image
7/ Leonard Leo ally Tim Busch probably refers to Project 2025 as “the Leo Project,” just like he refers to SCOTUS as “the Leo Court.”
8/ BTW, these are “Vigano Catholics”, not Pope Francis Catholics. They are extremists. ncronline.org/culture/book-r…

12/ Only exception is Gorsuch who was raised Catholic but attends an Episcopalian church.
14/ “Leo has played a catalytic role in the nominations of all six conservative justices currently serving on the Supreme Court,” and he ‘personally curated’ a list of acceptable Supreme Court nominees for … Trump.” monitoringinfluence.org/org/leonard-le…

I read the Trump-backed voter suppression bill, the so-called “Save America Act,” so you don’t have to. Here’s my summary. Please tell your Senators to vote NO on this abomination: 202-224-3121. TY. 1/ Image
You can read the Trump-backed “Save America Act” for yourself here. This bill expands upon the original so-called “SAVE Act”. 2/ congress.gov/119/bills/hr72…
3/ Here’s a link to the Brennan Center’s July 2025 report warning about the problems with both the SAVE System and the Social Security Number database when used to purge voters from the voter rolls, as would occur under the “Save America Act”. Everyone should read it. brennancenter.org/our-work/resea…

The SAVE America Act’s list of approved citizenship documentation is at the top. Marriage certificates are *not* included, effectively disenfranchising many of the 69M women whose last names don’t match their birth certificates (not an issue for those who buy expensive passports or have “Enhanced Drivers Licenses” that do match) 1/Image

The GOP’s “SAVE America Act” has a list of approved citizenship documentation for voters. It includes Real IDs that “indicate citizenship,” which misleads bc most Real IDs *don’t* indicate citizenship & thus won’t suffice.

The list also does *not* include marriage certificates, effectively disenfranchising many of the 69M women whose last names don’t match their birth certificates (not an issue for those w/ passports or Enhanced Drivers Licenses that do match). #NoOnSAVE #ProtectOurVotes 1/Image

Rs are using public confusion over Real ID to advance their deceptive Save America Act. In reality, for most voters, a Real ID will *not* suffice to prove citizenship under the Act—even if they presented a birth certificate to get it. Tell ur Senators #NoOnSAVE. 202-224-3121 1/ Image

The GOP’s “SAVE Act” has a list of approved citizenship documentation for voters. It includes Real IDs that “indicate citizenship,” which is highly misleading bc most REAL IDs *don’t* indicate citizenship, per the DHS.

The list also does *not* include marriage certificates, effectively disenfranchising many of the 69M women whose last names don’t match their birth certificates (not an issue for those w/ passports or Enhanced Drivers Licenses that do match). #NoOnSAVE #ProtectOurVotes 1/Image

Most Real IDs do *not* prove citizenship. (EDLs, which are available in only 5 states are an exception) The GOP’s “SAVE” Act thus misleads when it says voters can prove citizenship w/ “ID issued consistent w/ the reqmts of…REAL ID…that indicates the applicant is a citizen…” 1/ Image
