What drives Leonard Leo, the justice-maker who remains in the shadows, until there arises a conservative president who needs him?
Leonard was a visionary," said Tom Carter, who served as Leo's media relations director when he was chairman of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF).
In an exclusive interview with The Daily Beast. Carter said, "He figured out 20 years ago that conservatives had lost the culture war. Abortion, gay rights, contraception -- conservatives didn't have a chance if public opinion prevailed. So they needed to stack the courts."
Amazingly, said Carter, Leo has succeeded in this mission with few people taking notice.
The nation will take notice when overturning Roe v. Wade comes before the Supreme Court.
