Leonard Leo, ‘Free Speech’ Guy, Had Man Arrested for Calling Him a Fascist, Per Lawsuit
A 23-year-old told Leo—the man who wrote Trump's shortlist for the Supreme Court—that he's “a fucking fascist,” and Leo called the cops.
Sounds a lot like a fascist lol
"How dare you say something true!"
Leonard Leo, the head of the Federalist Society, and the reason why the US Judiciary is full of half trained jackasses who put ideology ahead of the actual law. He worked with Bush and Trump to place Federalist Society judges throughout America. Especially the Supreme Court.
All three of Trump's picks were actually Leo's picks.He also funds lawsuits against laws he doesn't like, and routes them through courts where he knows the judges, to appeals circuits where with judges he helped appoint, to the supreme court where 6 members owe him loyalty. (he also constantly bribes them)
Three of the cases heard by the court this last term were funded by Leo, including the gay wedding website case, where there was never a gay wedding. It was all made up. The "plaintiff" was actually a straight man, who was already married.
This is why elections matter
You may think trump is edgy, sticks it to the libs, and tells it like it is, but this guy is spending every minute of every day building a country to grind you into dust, and he's not on your side

Everyone happy now?
The world would be a better place without these assholes slithering around. They are like sewer rats wading in shit just under our feet waiting for an opportunity to invade our homes to spread their filth and disease. I am astounded everyday how a few extremists manage to sway and influence a decent portion of normal people to the brink of committing atrocities. This is a world wide problem and not just US centric, though the ~30% of US voters who eat up that stuff scare the crap out of me.
First, Leo is right to be scared. Anyone who subverts democracy so flagrantly is going to anger people. Angry people can get violent.
Second, why they hell haven't democracy-loving Americans stomped Leo into exile?
Wait this guys parents named him Leo Leo? Reminds me of this guy I knew named Robert Roberts. We called him Bob Bob.
See also Bob Roberts and, for a darker example, the palindromic Nazi Revilo P. Oliver.
I went to high school with a dude named Ling Ling. Apparently it means perfection, or something along those lines?
Wait, he’s real?!
Sounds like justification to me.
This source is awful and as such I rate the story "Fake news"
I'm sure you think the original New Yorker article is fake too, but since it had a paywall, I didn't think it was the best thing to post.
