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/
Image
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…

10/ This is Vigano.
11/
12/ Only exception is Gorsuch who was raised Catholic but attends an Episcopalian church.
13/
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…

WTF? The right wing SCOTUS majority held that Trump is immune re: claims that he directed the DOJ to conduct knowingly sham investigations b4 admitting that, “TRUE THERE IS NO PRESIDENTIAL IMMUNITY CLAUSE IN THE CONSTITUTION…” (See pp. 37-38) Remember how they reversed Roe v Wade, emphasizing that the constitution includes no explicit reference to abortion? 1/ supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf…Image
2/ From pp. 37-38
Image
Image
3/ What further blows my mind is that the right wing SCOTUS majority even manufactured a three prong test for this manufactured right to presidential immunity. Remember how right wingers complained incessantly about Roe v Wade’s three trimester approach for abortion rights?

Holy astroturf. The fundamentalist Christian takeover of the Carroll ISD school board in Southlake, TX included Hannah Smith —an alum of the Becket Fund (whose board includes Leonard Leo), protege of Leo ally Robert George, & former clerk of Leo pals Clarence Thomas & Alito. 1/

😳 Florida SBC Pastor Jonathan Elwing Charged With Child Molestation. Elwing recently belonged to the Conservative Baptist Network co-founded by Florida-based Christian investor Rod Martin, a protege of the late Paul Pressler who allegedly molested underage boys. 1/ churchleaders.com/news/488534-14…Image

Trump snapped and claimed that the 2020 election had been rigged against him, even though he & his Republican allies in Congress had blocked election-security bills before the election and Trump had out-performed the polls during the election. #TrumpIsAWhiner 1/ Image

OK School Superintendent Ryan Walters is no lone wolf. He’s part of the Christian Right’s well oiled machine, as shown by his speaking gig at the Family Research Council’s (FRC) summit, where he referred to church-state separation as a myth. FRC targets schools nationwide. 1/
2/ Here’s the link. As you can see, Sonja Shaw spoke on the same Family Research panel as Oklahoma’s Ryan Walters. Shaw is the President of the Board of Education of The Chino Valley Unified School District in California. This is a national effort.

3/ The Family Research Council’s president, Tony Perkins, is the immediate past president of the Council for National Policy, the Christian Right’s umbrella organization.
