Leonard Leo Rages About Proposed SCOTUS Reforms

July 29, 2024 Christianists, Trump cultists

“No conservative justice has made any decision in any big case that surprised anyone, so let’s stop pretending this is about undue influence. It’s about Democrats destroying a court they don’t agree with.

“If President Biden and the Democrats were truly serious about ethics reform, then they would ban all gifts and hospitality of any kind to any public official in any branch of government, starting with Congress, where the real corruption is.

“They would close all of the loopholes that allow Members to travel on private jets to fancy hotels and restaurants.

“With respect to judges, they would include the things where influence peddling is most present and dangerous—and that’s when the liberal Justices rub shoulders with influencers at places like law schools, bar associations, progressive think tanks and their conferences, and other groups and events funded by Left-wing billionaires, where they support real vested interests in the work of the Court.

“Let me be clear: If Democrats want to adopt an across the board ethics ban for all branches, I am in favor of that: no jets, no meals, no speaking honorariums, no gifts for anyone from anyone for any reason in any branch, starting with Congress.

“Until they support that, let’s all be honest about what this is: a campaign to destroy a court that they disagree with.” – Federalist Society head Leonard Leo, who hand-picked the last three Supreme Court justices, in a statement sent to Fox News.
