Because it is a blatant power grab funded by #LeonardLeo & his conservative billionaire backers like #BarreSeid and #HarlanCrow.

See: @ProPublica

More hypothetical cases will follow to limit freedoms.

Do you have information about Barre Seid or Leonard Leo? You can reach Andy Kroll at andy.kroll@propublica.org, Justin Elliott at justin@propublica.org and Andrew Perez at aperez@levernews.com.

#SenatorWhitehouse & others are calling for an IRS investigation.

"Leonard Leo’s lavish lifestyle appears to be his reward fr helping anonymous rt-wing #billionaires capture #SCOTUS "

People need to understand the level of elite donor manipulation is an operation, not a coincidence.

...the #BarreSeid bucket could blow another $30 million promoting lies about fossil fuels alone. And on & on & on."

"the will of the people becomes secondary to the will of a radical Catholic weirdo from Central Jersey with a passion for enjoying fine wine and stripping away the rights of women and the LGBTQ community. As Burleigh puts it—and this is not hyperbole—'Medieval popes had less power.'”

Greg Olear ends by encouraging readers to read Nina Burleigh's article — link below.

"The horror of the 91-year-old reclusive billionaire Barre Seid—his name rhymes with 'parricide'—bequeathing $1.6 billion of his vast fortune to radical Catholic forced birth activist and Supreme Court fixer Leonard Leo did not hit home for me until this week, when I read Nina Burleigh’s article in the New Republic."

@RobertMaguire
I suspect a #BarreSeid #LeonardLeo LLC. It was chump change but done with the kind of sophistication you get from practice.

@Npars01 @mybarkingdogs @northernlights @Brandi_Buchman
That $400 million #BarreSeid tax evasion needs to be investigated. #LeonardLeo 's mentor is #BarreSeid. #GinniThomas ' mentor is #LeonardLeo (she has said so on the record).

@Npars01 @mybarkingdogs @northernlights @Brandi_Buchman
The $1.6 billion hasn't been spent yet, but #BarreSeid donated another $1 billion over the last 15 years.

@mybarkingdogs @Npars01 @northernlights @Brandi_Buchman
#BarreSeid gave #LeonardLeo of the #Federalistsociety $1.6 billion last October.

@wdlindsy
If there are multiple articles about #BarreSeid I may check it out. That is where the danger lies right now.

Harlan Crow is the bilionaire gifted to #clarencethomas, but his money is peanuts compared to what #BarreSeid gifted to #LeonardLeo and the #Federalistsociety. Crow's net worth is ~$2 billion. He chairs the family business with other siblings. Crow has three children. Barre Seid gave Leo his entire company $1.6 billion through a questionable tax dodge of $400 million. Seid has no heirs. The $1.6 billion is now in Leo's coffers and funneled exclusively through dark money.

@Npars01 @flexghost
Yes. She said #BarreSeid. Thank you. It would take 3,200 #ClarenceThomas junkets to equal what #LeonardLeo has on hand now. The #1.6Billion does not count the billion #BarreSeid has already given to the #FederalistSociety agenda.

@gwfoto
Nice try but Crow is a minor player. Try #BarreSeid.

@BrennanCenter
Carrying Thomas out on rails seems like a better approach. The man chortled when he and #LeonardLeo were talking about the most important man in the world #BarreSeid.

@GottaLaff
I purposely have not turned on television or listened to main stream media since Sunday. We all knew what was going to happen, and it happened. Tell us about #BarreSeid. He has given #LeonardLeo #1.6Billion. Let's see some FOIAs, leakers. Put a couple of #journalists on the story full time. Follow Leo around. Get tapes of private events. Tell us something we don't know. How hard is this?
#RachelMaddow producers? Free @mehdihasan to get things turnt up.

@Npars01 @gdeihl @mikebaarda @breadandcircuses @Alienated53 @RiaResists

The fact that you cannot find #BarreSeid on your Google search since September 2022 is exactly why you should be investigating and exposing him. You can do a lot more than pick your own #supremecourt with #1.6 billion. You can scrub the web as well. @DataDrivenMD

One donor. #BarreSeid via #LeonardLeo. "Leonard Leo is my mentor." - Ginni Thomas.

And #BarreSeid.
