Barrett ads tied to interest groups funded by unnamed donors

Unfkingbelievable. The organized effort behind the SC packing of Federalists.

JFC. How did we get here? How did we ever allow this?

This is a stunning read of who, how, the motive, the money, the steady gaming over years, & the consequences that we have not yet imagined.
And the enormous opposing force long embedded in out nation. Their day has finally arrived.

Amy Barrett is the coup de gras of all the billionares of the organized criminal network that is the Federalist Society.
They are celebrating as we fall.
*****************

Be prepared for a barrage of SC cases that are being set to be rushed thru in the final months of a Trump Presidency, should we even be lucky enough to manage a win for Biden on Niv 3rd.

I expect the new SC to be used as Trump's own service where every objection he demands, will be litigated in his favor.
Our known laws will be rewritten by a new SC under Federalist rule,

The expected confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett to the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday is the culmination of a decadeslong coordinated effort by a constellation of conservative groups, fueled by tens of millions of dollars from wealthy anonymous donors, to tilt the high court farther to the right.

At the forefront has been Judicial Crisis Network, which has spent at least $6.3 million in five weeks on national television spots supporting the Republican effort to confirm President Donald Trump’s nominee a week before the election. The group spent an additional $2.9 million on digital ads, direct mail and text messages supporting Barrett as of Oct. 26, according to data obtained by The Associated Press from a conservative advertising firm.
