From the newsroom of the Washington Post.

Hi, this is Tracy Jamm Colley from the Post.

I'm a president from PowerU.

Hi, it's Robert Given.

I'm at the Washington Post.

This is Post Report. I'm Martin Powers.

It's Tuesday, May 21st.

Today, inside a decades-long campaign to reshape federal courts,

an Atlanta High School confronts trauma and British politicians in sticky situations.

We all remember back kind of a turning point for Donald Trump, I think.

When he pledged that there were certain people, judges, that were on a pre-approved list,

while the man who is largely responsible for creating that list is our next speaker.

Leonard Leo has been doing this for years, and today I'm so pleased to introduce him. Welcome him to the stage.

In February, Leonard Leo stepped onto a stage in a Florida ballroom and looked out over a potent crowd of conservative activists.

I think we stand at the threshold of an exciting moment in our republic.

And he told them that they were on the edge of fulfilling a dream.

The revival of our structural constitution by the US Supreme Court.

And he told them that they had to rally and mobilize in very unprecedented ways.

We're going to have to understand that judicial confirmations these days are more like political campaigns.

To help Trump finish transforming the judiciary.

No one in this room has probably experienced the kind of transformation that I think we are beginning to see.

I'm Robert O'Hara, I'm a reporter on the Investigative Desk. I'm Sean Boberk, and I'm on the investigative unit here at the post.
