Kavanaugh Is Second Most Conservative Justice

June 1, 2019 at 1:45 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard

A new analysis finds Justice Brett Kavanaugh is the second most conservative justice on the Supreme Court next to Justice Clarence Thomas, on a measure that places judges on a liberal-conservative spectrum.

The most liberal are Justice Sonia Sotomayor and Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

They would have you believe the "federalist society" picks the judges. This is somewhat correct, but the sinister truth is that one man is responsible: Leonard Leo of the Knights of Malta and Opus Dei. The Knights of Malta is an ultra conservative Catholic organization that is against LBGT, abortion, contraception, and espouses the belief that sex is for procreation only, not pleasure. Leo attends mass every morning.....why, my very religious grandma did't even do that. Seems like the theocracy is coming......
