Bill Donohue Leonard Leo, co-chairman of the Federalist Society, and the man most responsible for shepherding through President Trump’s appointments to the federal bench, including three Supreme Court Justices, is being attacked by anti-Catholic bigots in his hometown in Maine, simply because left-wing extremists object to his work. The protesters, who are doxxing Leo by showing [...]

Bill Donohue If you asked 100 Catholics who Roger Haight is, less than one percent would know. That’s the way it should be.
