🚨 I’ve got a juicy story to tell you about Leonard Leo.

Last time we checked in with Leo, we revealed details about a $1.6 BILLION gift he'd received.

That huge donation begged the question:

What will Leo do next?

Answer: “Crush liberal dominance.”

How?

Trump unloads on Brett Kavanaugh for his Supreme Court votes: "Where would he be without me? I saved his life. He wouldn't even be in a law firm. Who would have had him? Nobody. Totally disgraced. Only I saved him." https://t.co/Y1AGAkYLMK

Even as most in the @GOP Senate caucus remain silent as @realDonaldTrump shreds ten most sacred Democratic norms, they willingly join in by packing the courts with Trump nominees, even after the election.https://t.co/dxNsrWpVeq

White men lead 79 of the 93 U.S. atty’s offices in a country where they are < 1/3 of the population. 85% percent of Trump's Senate-confirmed fed prosecutors are white men, compared w/ 58% under Obama, 73% under George W. Bush and 63% under Clinton. https://t.co/ZXmIOF1RwH

White, male and conservative: Trump’s damaging legal legacy.

Trump has quietly filled 200 judicial vacancies but his appointments have had a concerning lack of ethnic diversity and been largely male and white. @USATODAY @usatodayopinion https://t.co/uHUVvWjoCG #TrumpJudges

Trump tells his Fox town hall that partly thanks to McConnell Obama left him 142 judicial vacancies (104) and that usually you're left 0 and if you get even 1 you're lucky (not even close to true). https://t.co/VGz6lbgnGt pic.twitter.com/Hc8C42bxGr

Soon, we will be voting on whether extreme @realDonaldTrump judicial nominee Steven Menashi deserves a lifetime seat on the federal bench.

The problem is… he refused to answer ANY of our questions, Republicans and Democrats alike. pic.twitter.com/VsSSRLDYyv

Today the Senate considered the nomination of Justin Walker of Kentucky to serve a lifetime appointment on the federal bench.

But he's only 10 years out of law school and has never tried a case.

He's part of a pattern of Republicans stacking the bench with unqualified judges. pic.twitter.com/LO9ckDJEPF
