Thank you, Greg. But the REAL hidden agenda is getting Dem voters to move OUT of Red states. This is voter suppression disguised. Just wait until they ban all birth control. Then all the young people will leave, and their Senate majority will be forever (until the climate catastrophe crashes civilisation... before 2050 is my guess)

I guess they are dumb enough to want that. Have fun without artists, medical professionals, teachers, attorneys, entrepreneurs. The USSR was always a dump.

These policies are actually going to eliminate the GOP. They are apparently too stupid to realise this

Indeed. Moscow talks about that in the full piece.

This is brilliant...every word of it. I read your first paragraph and thought it couldn't get any better, but it did just that! Here it is again:

"And so the third branch of government—the judicial branch, historically the weakest of the three—has become the first to succumb to fascism. The venerable institution that produced John Marshall and Louis Brandeis, Oliver Wendell Holmes and Thurgood Marshall, Earl Warren and Sandra Day O’Connor, has been usurped by drunks, lechers, cultists, and pompous dimwits, all in thrall to dark money-funded Catholic radicals for whom democracy is nothing more than a speedbump on the road to despotism."

Thank you!

What's not to love when it's the pure truth, all on a sesame seed bun; with frequent trips to the dictionary, notwithstanding! TY, Greg.

Wow! You revived your older statements and revealed a lot! Leonard Leo, the poster boy hiding behind the Federalist Society’s curtains while Rome burns. He set us up with our own Nero, that bastard! Then the Big C…that’s what I’m gonna call him from now on. Makes me shiver that he has literally done nothing while being on the Court, but has tried to destroy others and our country. A true traitor and how very sad that he does not see how his actions has affected blacks. I guess he sees himself as a white segregationist, a confederate soldier. We can thank good old Ginni for that. As a society, we really have had our heads in the sand. Learned yesterday that McCain had an longtime affair with a lobbyist and lied about it. No hero there. Clinton, JFK, FDR, Chump, are true starlets, aren’t they? But if a woman were to commit adultery, the gates of Hell would open up and she would be scorned for life! Thus, the male control of women and their bodies is the ultimate goal of the religious jackasses. They can stick it where the sun doesn’t shine!

The double standards and the hypocrisy are breathtaking. And you're right. Look what happened to Katie Hill.

Greg, I am a chicago-born Irish Catholic ex seminarian at 79 years of age. I can't find the words to express my fear and disgust at the insurrection of American democracy led by Leonard Leo, the federalist society and certain members of opus dei. I am struggling for ways to help you expose this antediluvian cabal and the harm and it's putting on American society.

Thanks for sharing that. I hope you share more of your experience and viewpoint, as it's so important. The Church is so much more than these wingnuts.

IMO, they only claim Catholicism as a cover for what they really are doing. A rose by any other name is still a rose...

Truth, but corrupting to government and religion!

Wow. Lots of great scribbling. However i am pretty much up on all dis. Leonard Leo is one evil jerk. But cant really blame him for mans invention of gods. God died in 54. Its difficult avoiding those that belive in the tooth fairy.

The whole "give us money and we'll talk to God and make sure your dead relative goes to heaven" remains the most genius grift of all time.

Ok, still reading...so many connections to unravel. Thank you for consolidating all of this information in one place. It helps put everything in (sickening) perspective.
