Thanks to the Supreme Court’s Citizens United ruling in 2010, a trove of “dark money” was about to be unleashed. Leonard Leo and Clarence Thomas' wife Ginny Thomas seized the moment.

"In the months before the US supreme court handed down Citizens United, the 2010 ruling which unleashed a flood of dark money into American politics, the wife of a conservative justice worked with a prominent rightwing activist and a mega-donor closely linked to her husband to form a group to exploit the decision."

"[Alito] says Congress has no authority to regulate the Supreme Court. The Constitution he allegedly reveres says otherwise. A lot. …

Wrong on the facts, wrong on the history, on the wrong side of honesty and ethical standards, Justice Alito and his colleagues need to be reined in."

"A key question is now this: Did Leonard Leo use millions in nonprofit contributions in a conspiracy with others to illegally enrich himself and his friends, including the Thomases? (Narrator: Duh.)

And all of this is happening in the shadows, the dark, with no daylight shining in:

"The movement’s triumphs are now visible but its engine remains hidden: A billion-dollar network of groups, most of which are registered as tax-exempt charities or social welfare organizations. Taking advantage of gaps in disclosure laws, they shield the identities of most of their donors and some of the recipients of the funds."

A formula for corruption.

Who's really running the country? Leonard Leo, Ginni Thomas, the corrupt Supremes they've bought, and their super-rich backers:

"From those early discussions among Leo, Thomas and Crow would spring a billion-dollar force that has helped remake the judiciary and overturn longstanding legal precedents on abortion, affirmative action and many other issues."

Shocked — just shocked! (not) — to learn that the praying coach Supreme Court case was a big phony, as was Florida coach Joe Kennedy with his claim that his religious freedom was being trampled on as he sought just to pray privately at football games. Since, as we all know, God loves nothing more than a good football game and a praying coach and football team….

But they are totally silent about the growing perception of the public that the Supreme Court, dominated by a right-wing Catholic bloc, is morally compromised and even corrupt — just as they are silent about the cruel anti-immigrant stunts of Catholic governors DeSantis and Abbott.

The disparity is noteworthy, isn't it?

As Reuters reports, Supreme Court Justice Alito has refused to recuse himself from "a tax case that involves an attorney who interviewed him for a newspaper article and helped him "air his personal grievances."

A reminder: Alito is Catholic. So is Thomas. So is Roberts, who refuses to hold either justice accountable for unethical behavior.

The US Catholic bishops have rattled their sabers at Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden.
