Constitutional scholar and conservative activist Leonard Leo has had enough of the ongoing witch hunt against the Supreme Court led by Senate Democrats. In a letter sent to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin and Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, Leo’s attorneys made it clear that he would not comply with their unconstitutional inquiries.
Leonard Leo refuses to entertain Dems’ SCOTUS “ethics” charade — his lawyers tell Whitehouse + Durbin that targeting Leo is “political retaliation against a private citizen in violation of the First Amendment” in pursuit of a policy that “would be unconstitutional if enacted.” 🔥 pic.twitter.com/q9NflkHXsH

The attorneys assert that the Committee’s investigation violates the limits placed by the Constitution on their investigative authority. They argue that the investigation is politically charged and selectively targets Leo, while conveniently ignoring other sources of information that may offer a different perspective. It’s clear that this inquiry is nothing more than political retaliation against a private citizen, which violates the First Amendment.
Not only does this investigation infringe upon Leo’s rights, but it also lacks a valid legislative purpose. The attorneys point out that the legislation the Committee is considering would be unconstitutional if enacted, further highlighting the absurdity of the inquiry. It’s refreshing to see someone push back against the overreaching arm of government and boldly defend their constitutional rights.
These attacks on conservative Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito are nothing new. They have faced months of unrelenting scrutiny and attempts to discredit them simply because of their conservative beliefs. It’s clear that Senate Democrats are not interested in the fair and impartial workings of the Supreme Court. Instead, they seem determined to undermine and dismantle the conservative values represented by these justices.
It’s high time that conservatives like Leonard Leo stand up and refuse to be silenced by these partisan witch hunts. The Constitution is clear in its protection of individual rights and the separation of powers. It’s important for the American people to see that their rights are being defended and upheld by principled conservatives like Leo.
This is just another example of the left’s obsession with trying to manipulate the Supreme Court to fit their agenda. They cannot accept that the Court may have a conservative majority and instead resort to underhanded tactics to undermine it. Thankfully, there are individuals like Leonard Leo who are willing to fight back against these partisan attacks and defend the integrity of our Constitution.
