The man who helped roll back abortion rights-Leonard Leo
https://www.npr.org/2024/11/24/nx-s1-5199049/federalist-society-conservative-supreme-court The man who helped roll back abortion rights now wants to 'crush liberal dominance'.
Leonard Leo may not be a household name, but odds are most people in the country know his signature achievement:
Leo was a key architect of the conservative supermajority on the Supreme Court that rolled back the federal right to an abortion.
The conservative activist advised President-elect Donald Trump during his first term on the nominations of Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett. The three picks gave conservatives their 6-3 majority on the high court. And all of them voted to overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade abortion rights decision.
For decades, as a leading figure in the Federalist Society and other conservative legal groups, Leo identified and promoted the careers of lawyers and law clerks who shared his views of the constitution.
