Supreme Court silly season now produces an annual flood of ridiculous hit pieces not just on the conservative justices but also on the conservative legal movement. Few people in the movement have attracted more flak than Leonard Leo. Now, Shawn Musgrave of the Intercept has discovered a secret so dark and terrifying you may need to sit down to read it: Leo donates money to law schools to endow scholarship on the Constitution.
Musgrave warns that Leo has “targeted” law schools for “shadow philanthropy.” Philanthropy? Will he stop at nothing? I daresay very few law-school deans lie awake at night fearing that someone will target their schools with millions in philanthropy.
