Chicago Pope, starring Robert Prevost as LeoXIV

Possible scene:
Donald pays a visit to the Pope in Vatican City

LeoXIV:
Despite any misgivings I may have, I bless you in the name of the Father, The Son, & The Holy Spirit

Trump (with accordion hands):
Leo, I don't need your blessings. I don't need anything from anybody. Besides, I've got another Leo on my side. Leonard Leo. Ever hear of him? Leo twice, or Leo²

The "precise moment" is this:

"It is a fact that a cabal of powerful right-wing American Catholics is not at all sorry to see Francis pass away – on Easter Monday, no less. These men have been licking their chops for more than a decade for a chance to conclave and install a man more of their ilk, someone who might help persuade millions of Catholics that Jesus was really a social Darwinist."

Noting that "[Pope] Francis’s support of social justice made him anathema to hard-right American Catholics like Leonard Leo and billionaires, like California real estate attorney Tim Busch," Nina Burleigh quotes Gareth Gore:

“The ultra-conservative wing of the US Catholic Church – a group made up of cardinals, bishops, priests and wealthy individuals – has spent years preparing for this precise moment.”

Looked "#TrevorNMcFadden" up at Wikipedia

All anyone needs to know:

"Before becoming a judge, McFadden served as a deputy assistant attorney general in the Criminal Division of the Department of Justice.[2] He has been a member of the Federalist Society since 2003"

"He has been a member of the Federalist Society since 2003"

Just another #LeonardLeo / #FedSoc shill

"Trump is hungry to walk through this door of lawless autocracy. But it is the conservative legal movement, embodied in the Federalist Society, organized by Leonard Leo and others, who opened the door. They manufactured the fraudulent idea that presidents cannot be constrained by the law. They imported it from abroad, from the degenerate ideologues of autocracy. They did this."

copy-pasta of mine, earlier:

"#LeonardLeo and the #FederalistSociety hired #JusticeRoberts to do one thing, and one thing only

To re-write the #UnitedStatesConstitution in full service to Leo's #UnitaryExecutive pipedream

So far #Roberts is performing according to script

Aided and abetted by #Alito and #Thomas of course"

Ah, ben oui, ils viennent de le faire 😂

"In fact, your old fellow-traveler Ed Whelan has been tweeting his displeasure about the goings-on, leading me to the uncomfortable realization that I sometimes agree with Ed Whelan. Strange bedfellows, indeed.

But I digress. I’m writing today to ask one simple question:

Are you okay with this?"

"I know you have some connection to VP Vance through the Catholic networks, but he is, and has long been, an open fascist. Trump, a yooge fan of Hitler, promised to be a dictator on Day One and is doing his level best to keep that promise.

All of these things are objectively true, and are really taking place."

As a New Jersey-raised Catholic of Italian descent, Greg Olear asks Leonard Leo, a New Jersey-raised Catholic of Italian descent with enormous political power through the Federalist society, if he's okay with what he and other right-wing Catholics have now set in motion:

"Although the legacy media is reluctant to say so, Musk has outed himself as a Nazi."

" I understand Roberts as attempting to simultaneously reassure Trump about that while also seeming to stand firm on behalf of federal judges."

I'm seeing it as a pure PR play on #JohnRoberts part to buff the cred of #SCOTUS

Anyone who is paying any attention knows that #LeonardLeo's implementation of the #SupremeCourt is designed for one purpose only:

To enshrine the #UnitaryExecutive as #UnitedStates #Constitutional fact
