THE THIRD FEDERALIST SOCIETY
Within the Federalist Society, is an operation funded by dark money and designed to remake our judiciary on behalf of a distinct group of very wealthy anonymous funders.

The story of the “third” Federalist Society is partly the story of a man named Leonard Leo, the Society’s executive vice president. Mr. Leo is now the most influential person shaping our federal judiciary. Don’t be surprised if you’ve listening and you’ve never heard of him. He’s never been elected. He is not accountable to any voter. Instead, he’s the front man for interests that want to use the Federalist Society?—?and its surrounding network of front groups, and PR shops, and think tanks?—?to acquire control over our courts.

Renown court watcher Jeffrey Toobin describes Leo as “Trump’s subcontractor” on the selection of Supreme Court justices. More accurately, Mr. Leo is the subcontractor for a network of big corporate interests and front groups. In the summer of 2016, it was Leo who delivered the list of potential nominees to fill the vacancy left by the death of Antonin Scalia and the blocking of MERRICK GARLAND (caps mine). It was Mr. Leo who was involved in the Trump transition, helping to conduct outreach to potential Supreme Court picks, including Neil Gorsuch. Mr. Leo even orchestrated a million-dollar donation to Trump’s inauguration.

1. There is a reason that the question exists - a distrust based upon inaction or little action

on his part since taking office. We are playing hardball with these right-wing politicians and my impression is a bit of reluctance by the justice department.

Leonard Leo blocked the SC appointment of Merrick Garland

Thank You, Joinfortmill

But Merrick Garland & the entire Biden admin already knew this, when President Joe Biden apptd Merrick Garland as his AG.
Leonard Leo is a well known figure in the world of organized criminal networks operating within the US.

I am hoping, however long it takes AG Garland, his ultimate prime focus is the final destruction of Mr Leonard Leo.

4. That would be awesome

Garland doesn't strike me as someone who would be out for revenge, but he might be out for saving the judiciary.

5. Exactly. He plays every move close to the vest. And Leonared Leo is the reason why.

There are & have been many in our US govt who are loyal to Mr Leo.
Garland doesn't have the ego that requires press & applause. He just answers to the oath he swore to on behalf of the USA.

No wonder Leo wanted Trump. He already owns Barr & McConnell.
