In light of the re-emergence of Leonard Leo and the Federalist Society in the news today, I find this posting by Will Sommer yesterday hilarious:

"After months of turmoil and staff resignations, the conservative Heritage Foundation is hiring a former gay porn actor known for his work in such films as 'Jerk-Off Race.'"

Today's Supreme Court ruling atttacking Trump's tariffs has brought Leonard Leo, former v-p of the Federalist Society, into the news. Leo is the kingmaker of the current Supreme Court. Leo has stacked the court with hard-right Catholics closely tied to the right-wing Catholic cult Opus Dei, to which Leo belongs.

As Lucian K. Truscott notes, Leo, was behind the tariff lawsuit that Trump lost.

Hanging over the hearing was the legacy of #SCOTUS’ wave of rulings that have pared back #CampaignFinance restrictions over the years, including the 2010 #CitizensUnited v. FEC decision, which paved the way for unlimited independent expenditures by outside groups known as #superPACs.

#SCOTUS’ conservative majority has long been skeptical of #CampaignFinance restrictions on “free speech” grounds, & #Republicans have often brought challenges against them. Some of those justices expressed skepticism about the limits during Tuesday's argument, while liberal justices defended them.
