What a cunt

So this man needs to be hunted down and done away with.

You sound like a rabid right wing nut. We don’t ’hunt’ people; we prosecute them.

Unfortunately our judges and courts have shown little interest in prosecuting these traitors and how do you do that if the court is taken by facsiest?

Having reshaped the courts, Leo now has grander ambitions. Today, he sees a nation plagued with ills: “wokism” in education, “one-sided” journalism, and ideas like environmental, social and governance, or ESG, policies sweeping corporate America. A member of the Roman Catholic Church, he intends to wage a broader cultural war against a “progressive Ku Klux Klan” and “vile and immoral current-day barbarians, secularists and bigots” who demonize people of faith and move society further from its “natural order.”

I wasn't exactly sure of what I was reading in the beginning. After roughly half an hour, I finished the article. There seems to be a whole lot of investigation on this person. He seems to have revolved all of his career to promote extremely conservative people to the positions of judges, justices and others across the states, the supreme court and the government. I wouldn't believe that this kind of person would exist, if I hadn't read this article. This article is a result of a very long and extensive research. Absolutely spot on work.

Shows the inner machinations of the US extreme conservatives to control this country even when they will lose the majority in the senate, the house and the states.

I rarely read something, and get scared so much.

Propublica investigation released on Wednesday. Do we think the rest of the media (other than Newscorp) will scramble to catchup before press time on Friday or will they put in the work and aim for Sunday?
