Samuel Alito Opens Up About Antonin Scalia and the Path from Roe to Dobbs In an exclusive interview, the Supreme Court justice remembers a friend and conservative icon’s legacy.

Another crack at canonization for Opus Dei adjacent Scalia, via an interview w Opus Dei adjacent Alito, by far right Newsmax reporter, in German owned trumper publication.

Were Scalia, Alito or Rosen in Epstein files? Just asking 🤷‍♂️

Heritage Enhances Free Enterprise Efforts with New Initiative and Expanded Team WASHINGTON—The Heritage Foundation today launched the Free Enterprise Initiative, expanding the success of its Capital Markets Initiative and adding new staff to advance and defend economic freedom.

Someone needs to research these new Heritage hires.

Who would join a blatantly antisemitic, extremist Opus Dei adjacent Catholic think tank, that just lost 60 employees to public resignations?

Who aligns themselves w Paul Weyrich, Pat Buchanan & Nick Fuentes?

The religious war re education goes back to Brown v Ed (1954) requiring white kids sit next to black kids. White flight created a network of church schools.

And Bob Jones (1970) that took tax exemption away from racist church schools.

The Gutter Catholic Goes Home: Chapter 12 — The Undeserving Worthiness, Expulsion and Family Culture

This chapter explores worthiness, belonging, family culture, and expulsion—who gets labeled undeserving, and why. I write about cooking as more than food: as matriarchal care, culture-making, and love given without conditions.

Biography of a Corrupted Court | Los Angeles Review of Books Lisa Graves’s new exposé of Chief Justice John Roberts deconstructs the right-wing takeover of the Supreme Court.

“Her biggest bête noire is Leonard Leo, longtime vice president of the Federalist Society, who raised vast sums to support it. He has more entries in her index than any other subject.”

If you havent read @thelisagraves.bsky.social book, you dont know Jack.

20 years since Leonard Leo put Opus Dei adjacent Sam Alito on the Supreme Court.

Despite being a so-called Originalist, his opinions are drawn primarily from Aquinas and medival natural law Catholic Christofascism.

A prefect example of watch what I do, not what I say.

A decade of failing to persuade the New York Times to pay attention to Leonard Leo First published April 4, 2024 on my Medium page. I’m reprinting my Leonard Leo columns on Substack. As of Sept. 2025 The New York Times has never done a critical look at Leonard Leo.

None of this shit happened w/o Leonard Leo.

NYT reporters have known since 2012 that they were covering for a Christofascist Nazi. They made the editorial decision to cover for him.

trump could not have been elected in 2016 or 2024 w/o Leonard Leo.

What do Franco Spain & MAGA fascism have in common?

Opus Dei & Opus Dei adjacent far right Catholics.

Leonard Leo, 6 Supremes, Heritage, JD Vance, Tom Homan & almost 40% of trump cabinet. Remove the MAGA Catholics & the entire enterprise collapses.

Not an Evangelical in sight.

Leonard Leo & the Stained Glass Curtain He’s Hiding Behind “Pay no attention to the roly poly bat faced boy behind the altar”

Reminder - There is no ICE Gestapo in Minneapolis w/o Leonard Leo. No invasion of Venezuela, no razing or genocide in Gaza, no threats to Greenland, no crippling tariffs.

trump could not have been elected in 2016 or 2024 w/o Catholic Christofascist Leo.

Politico, owned by German trumpers, publishes Leonard Leo front group Students for Life a press release - masquerading as news.

No mention in Politico of Leo or his decades long affiliation w the “influential” pressure org.

Read your Aquinas. There is no separation of church and state in Post Liberal Catholic Integralism. Democracy is a 250 year old heresy to be corrected. Make America a Papal State Again.

The Latin Mass and the shaping of the American Right Though small in number, traditionalist Catholics are shaping the American right more than any other religious group

The Leonard Leo Supreme Court and all its rulings - immunity for king, no separation of church and state, democracy as heresy - pretty much comes down to the tiny minority of anti Vatican II pro Latin mass cabal. 🧵

How George Soros changed criminal justice in America The liberal funder has spent tens of millions of dollars swinging dozens of district attorney races, drawing a backlash from the right.

Who has done more to undermine and destroy the judiciary than Leonard Leo, but Bezos Wapo assigns a Pulitzer prize winning reporter to gut Soros?

Same reporter who did a look at billionaires influencing politics a week ago - that did not mention Leo.

Shame!

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.

We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.

We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.
