Summary
OK, so no Democrat would ever accuse Donald Trump of being a strategic thinker. But in a colossally stupid move, he blasted the very person, Leonard Leo, and the very organization, the Federalist Society, that helped deliver to him Supreme Court justices who gave him his a get-out-of-jail-free card in the form of presidential immunity.
But now, because judges he appointed are regularly ruling against him, Trump has to blame SOMEONE for the performance of the judges HE appointed. Because, as we all know, the buck NEVER stops with Donald Trump.
Glenn discusses why attacking Leo and the Federalist Society likely will shrink Trump's sphere of influence, especially in conservative legal circles.
