When Rao testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee, I asked her about the funding of her so-called Center for the Study of the Administrative State at George Mason’s Scalia Law School. She testified to me that NO anonymous or Koch brothers funding had gone to her Center.— Sheldon Whitehouse (@SenWhitehouse) May 22, 2019
Here’s what’s also interesting: open records documents show the law school dean regularly reported to Leonard Leo and the Koch Foundation on developments at the Center, including faculty hiring, student admissions, and other @FedSoc priorities.— Sheldon Whitehouse (@SenWhitehouse) May 22, 2019
Now “dismantler" Rao is a life-tenured judge on the nation’s second highest court, supposed to treat our U.S. agencies fairly. #CapturedCourts https://t.co/bzTwmNNdBs— Sheldon Whitehouse (@SenWhitehouse) May 22, 2019
Americans are seeing their courts packed with judges who always rule against them whenever big corporate and Republican partisan interests have a skin in the game. Every time.— Sheldon Whitehouse (@SenWhitehouse) May 22, 2019
Leonard Leo’s dark @FedSoc is installing judges to dismantle the protections that keep us safe from corporate greed. I’m glad the @washingtonpost’s reporting shows more of how this operation works. #CapturedCourts pic.twitter.com/ekrXniEOjf— Sheldon Whitehouse (@SenWhitehouse) May 22, 2019
