Leonard Leo isn’t above the law. He is the law!
“Billionaire Leo rejects Senate subpoena over supreme court gifts.”
“The big-money rightwing donor Leo said he would not comply with a subpoena issued by the US Senate judiciary committee, as it investigates undisclosed gifts to conservative supreme court justices that have stoked an ethics crisis at a court already held in historically low public esteem.” See how Leo’s hand-picked justices have done for you:
- Abortions banned
- Rampant GOP voter suppression
- EPA crippled
- Student loans debt relief blocked
- Dark money floods politics
- Dreamers rights denied
Follow the money with this relationship map to see how Leo and his fellow billionaires have bought the Supreme Court. How will Loe’s unholy war to overthrow American democracy with PROJECT 2025 affect you?
The king of dark money effectively controls the US supreme court now
“Democrats on the judiciary committee are concerned with rightwing dark money and its effects on a court stacked 6–3 in favour of conservatives since Donald Trump installed three justices in just four years in power. Multiple reports, led by the non-profit newsroom ProPublica, have described undisclosed gifts including luxury travel and resort stays given to Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, long-serving hardline court rightwingers.
Thomas and Alito deny all wrongdoing. The chief justice, John Roberts, has refused to testify in Congress. The court issued a new ethics code but it is enforceable only by the justices themselves. In November, the Senate committee voted on party lines to subpoena Leo and the Texas billionaire Harlan Crow, a collector of Hitler memorabilia with close links to Thomas.” — The Guardian
Project 2025
Leo is funding Project 2025, a scheme to overthrow American democracy to install a Christian dictatorship, just like Gilead from HandMaid’s Tale.
Leonard Leo, the wealthy neo-conservative Catholic puppet master. Leo has funded 60 of over 80 Project 2025 initial advisory groups, including over half the Advisory Board in 2022, using hard-to-track dark money. Leo’s world is a tight knit, overlapping network of friends, Christian Right activists, and GOP lawyers at The Heritage Foundation, the Federalist Society, Congress, and, unexpectedly, the Catholic sect Opus Dei. While Project 2025 represents a roadmap for autocracy – a future theocracy — it’s definitely a Leocracy. — Stop The Coup 2025
How Project 2025 Will Ruin Your Life
TakeAway: No one is above the law. Not even Christian extremists with billions in dark money and Supreme Court justices beholden to them. Vote for President Biden and Democrats to hold billionaires accountable and stop the Project 2025 scheme to create a Christian dictatorship.
