darkace77450 04/12/24 6:36:35 PM #1:	Throw his ass in jail. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/leonard-leo-subpoena-supreme-court-senate-democrats-judiciary-committee/ Conservative judicial activist Leonard Leo said he will not comply with a subpoena issued by Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee as part of their ongoing investigation into ethics practices at the Supreme Court. The subpoena was issued to Leo by Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin on Thursday, months after Democrats on the panel voted to authorize it. Durbin has been looking into ethics issues at the high court for roughly a year following a series of reports that revealed Justice Clarence Thomas took luxury trips with a Republican megadonor, Harlan Crow, and did not disclose them. Crow, a Texas real estate developer, did not receive a subpoena from Durbin, a spokesman for Crow said. "I am not capitulating to his lawless support of Senator Sheldon Whitehouse and the left's dark money effort to silence and cancel political opposition," Leo, who has played a crucial role in the confirmations of several of the conservative Supreme Court justices, said in a statement. Leo is the co-chairman of the conservative Federalist Society. And then there's Lindsey Graham putting the "projection" in GOP. Sen. Lindsey Graham, the top Republican on the panel, criticized Democrats for issuing the subpoena. The committee's GOP minority has argued Democrats' November action was unsuccessful because they failed to follow Senate and committee rules, and the committee lacked a quorum to conduct business when the vote to authorize the subpoenas was held. "The world is on fire, the border is broken, and the Biden Administration is completely incompetent on multiple levels. Yet the Democrat-led Senate wants to subpoena a private citizen for political clickbait," he said in a statement. "The subpoena is illegal, the underlying allegations are frivolous and I hope the American people are fed up with this. I know I am." <cite>darkace77450 posted [p:979877277] in Billionair...

A $1,000 fine today, then on each further day of non-compliance, the fine for that day is twice what it was the day before. That's the way to get the attention of these billionaire shitbirds.
