Before anyone goes nuts, this money did NOT go to the GOPe or Mitch McConnell etc.
Instead it went to the very strong conservative Leonard Leo, who is the co Chairman of the Federalist Society, the organization that reviewed and strongly recommended President Trump's excellent judicial nominees.
The money went to the Marble Freedom Trust, a strongly conservative PAC headed by Leonard Leo.
The money came from one Berre Seid, a Chicago based electrons mogul/billionaire.
Naturally the liberal heads are exploding everywhere. Its fun to watch the crazy Chris Hayes suffer a massive meltdown over this stunning donation to conservatives.
Chuckle.
Only 11 minutes long.

Hypocrites. I hope they pop a vein.
good for the goose and gander you know the thing
Time to call Soros.
This goes against the recent message that donations are down. I think that is out of context anyway. There are many that refuse to give money to the GOP because Romney’s RINO niece runs it.
They are not going to get $1.6 Billion from Soros.
Glad to hear it.
You think some Americans are waking up?
His SCOTUS picks gave us the overturning of Roe.
And it's pretty much the furthest thing from a secret society that you can get. The meetings are open, and not just to lawyers. One of its biggest strengths is that it does not limit the ideas that get expressed at its national convention, often inviting liberal speakers or jurists to participate in panels. Invariably, they come away impressed with the openness and depth of thought, and this makes it easier for conservative lawyers and juris to advance their ideas.
And the whole thing was started just 40 years ago by a few conservative Ivy League law students sick of liberal orthodoxy. Pretty incredible.
They gave us Dobbs.

Soros does not give away money. He invests it with the plan that he will get a nice return in the future.
SCOTUS aside, the Federalist Society isn’t what I would call strong on Constitutional originalism.
Wait and see what they actually DO with the money.
Mitch can suck it
Great. Now I can continue deleting the RNC emails and not feel guilty.
See post # 11
strongly conservative PAC ….. uh huh…..sure…..got it….10-4
Trump’s picks are not among the top two presently on the court—but that he, at least for the moment, has his third best pick in the top 5, and that the bottom of the top five is good enough to get things done that have needed to happen for a long time is tremendous.
Trump seems to be a mixed bag in talent evaluation, but if this is the guy who did the Supreme Court picks, he seems more trust worthy and better at evaluation talent than most.
An honest politician is one who, when bought, stays bought. And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep. (We are called to hope, but the world mostly gives grounds for despair).
