Co-conspirator John Eastman frankly and proudly admits that he and others collaborating with Defendant Trump were seeking to overthrow the government.

As this frank admission is assessed, it's important to note the ideological roots of Eastman's claim — why he seeks to overturn US democracy.

Eastman belongs to the same Federalist Society of which Supreme Court kingmaker Leonard Leo was long v-p.

Both Eastman and Leo are, it's reported, members of the powerful, wealthy, secretive, right-wing Catholic cult Opus Dei, which has long been inimical to democracy and has strong theocratic aspirations.

A number of the Supremes who constitute the right-wing Catholic cabal now controlling the court have Opus Dei ties. (The one non-Catholic member of the cabal, Gorsuch, was raised Catholic.)

Eastman previously chaired the National Organization for Marriage, an anti-gay outfit determined to roll back rights for LGBTQ Americans (and LGBTQ people elsewhere in the world). NOM, previously led by Maggie Gallagher, also Catholic, and connected to another leading anti-LGBTQ Catholic activist Robert P. George, has long had close ties to the US Catholic bishops.
