In 2016, Leo worked with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to block President Barack Obama's replacement appointee, Merrick Garland; Leo's nonprofit, the Judicial Crisis Network reported that it spent more than $7 million to prevent Garland's confirmation.[9] After Donald Trump's election, The New York Times described Leo as playing a "critical role" in reshaping the judiciary through Trump's Supreme Court nominees, first contacting then appellate-judge Neil Gorsuch about potentially nominating him to the vacancy created by Scalia's death.

And this guy goes fishing with Justice Samuel Clemmons and Uncle Tomas, and plays Santa Clause!!!

Leonard Leo has a message for Democrats seeking to exercise oversight of the Supreme Court: pound dirt. In a defiant letter Tuesday to Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Dick Durbin and Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, an attorney for the conservative legal activist rejected the panel’s request for information about his gifts to Supreme Court justices, claiming that their investigation is “politically charged,” violates Leo’s rights, and “lacks a valid legislative purpose.”

The separation of government does not work correctly, if all of this is necessary to correctly guide the approach to domestic tranquility. For those of you who are rooting for the Republicans to control all three branches.

The Democrats are winning with incapacitated candidates! And winning is what matters.

It is only necessary because the two party system has failed the country. You seem to be concerned the Democrats weren't able to command 100% of the government by getting control of the Supreme Court. That and the House are literally the ONLY government institutions not controlled by the Democrats.
 
No. I am concerned that the system is erroneous. The Three-part Separation Theory does not work right, and this report is an example of something that we are not taught in the civics class that we are supposed to have that helps us understand how the government works.

It's fucked-up no matter what side you are on!

How many millions of tax payer dollars did the democrats spend in their failed fraudulent attempt to smear Kavanaugh?

It functioned as intended up until the last few decades when Democrats slowly gained control of the courts, the media, and more recently the DOJ and the FBI. It's as if we allowed a cancer to run rampant through America's government and now we suddenly realize we are at Stage 4.
 
BTW OP...his name is MERRICK...not MERRIT.

MERRICK...like john merrick...the elephant man!

There is that marginalization again. Because the Marxists/Demofascists do it, then the Republicans must be doing it also.
 
Spoken like a true democrat!
I vote Republican. The point I was making is the fact that winning public elections to control the three branches with ideologically aligned people is the goal of the political system that we have - it is not that difficult to figure out.

You are only describing your imagined understanding of the founders' intentions and the evolution of the system. Nobody knows how well anything was before they were consciously aware of monitoring the processes. And there is no way anybody can monitor government activities, especially the legislature. It is an incredibly complex process to process legislation from idea to law, and there is no way for the novice citizen to do so. I have tried - there is only so much CSPAN a person can watch and understand what they are seeing and hearing, and then there are all of the casual meetings that CSPAN is unable to capture.

What has happened is that the inadequacies of the three-part government separation have become more vulnerable because of the expansion of government, and the Democrats have been able to exploit that because of their inherent contest with the Republicans which are principled on small government and free market economy.

Political parties are not required to maintain any principle - they can sway and bend to appease any voting bloc that the leadership believes will enhance their ability to win more public elections.


This reflects “what the energy of the Republican Party is in the conservative movement,” Dallek said. “All these questions of identity and culture, and the sense that America is, as they see it, slipping away from them” is what animates the modern conservative movement, he said. “It’s not energized so much by tax cuts or deregulation.”
