Severino and Judicial Crisis Network enlisted support from what Severino called a "war room" of pro-Catholic and pro-business advocacy groups including the Susan B. Anthony List, Catholic Vote, America First Policies, the Club for Growth and Heritage Actionis not fully supported by the cited sources. the piece in The Hill does not mention "war room", nor does the piece in Washington Examiner. Neither source mentions Catholic Vote, Club for Growth, nor Heritage Action. You need to either remove the details that fail verification or add reliable sources that support including those details.
The Judicial Crisis Network (JCN) is an American conservative advocacy organization closely affiliated with judicial activist Leonard Leo and with the Federalist Societyis based on this Washington Post article. I'm going to push back on the use of the source for that exact sentence. I think it's a fair conclusion to reach that the two are aligned, but it's WP:OR to say that JCN' is an affiliate of FedSoc. The source gives explicit descriptions of the proximity of the two offices and the ties in leadership, but it doesn't explicitly go that far. The closest the source goes is
the group that has office space on the same hall as the Federalist Society, so another source is going to be needed to support
closely affiliated with... Leonard Leo and the Federalist Society, especially since WaPo even notes that
The ties between JCN and Leo are opaque.
was widely reported and discussedappears to be WP:OR based upon the fact that the three sources mention it. If none of the sources explicitly say that the quote was widely reported (or something substantially the same), then that's WP:OR.
Both Severinos are conservative Roman Catholicsis probably better rendered as
Both Severinos are conservative Catholics. The "Roman" is generally accepted for members of the Latin Church, but is generally not used to describe Eastern Catholics (who are also Catholics). The NY Times article notes that
they are conservative Catholics, but it doesn't go beyond that. Absent sources that explicitly specify that she and her husband are members of the Latin Church or refer to them as "Roman Catholics", "Roman" should be dropped.
never use self-published sources—including but not limited to books, zines, websites, blogs, and tweets—as sources of material about a living personexcept in an WP:ABOUTSELF manner. Never means never, so the Medium-published piece needs to go.
She was a law clerk to U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas for a year (2007–2008). She later spent time at Georgetown University Law Center with an Olin/Searle Fellowship, an award funded by the Federalist Society that "offers top young lawyers with a scholarly bent the opportunity to spend 1-2 years to write and develop their scholarship with the goal of entering the legal academy."is not supported by this page, which does not mention her. To include this content, find sources that explicitly say she had the fellowship. Also, you'll need to include a source that she clerked for Thomas.
In 2022, JCN's "About" page lists Severino as its only staff member, describing her role as "chief counsel and policy director."is correct and cited, but it's to a https://judicialnetwork.com/about/ primary source]. I'm not really sure that this sort of thing is WP:DUE without a reliable secondary source describing it (previously, the Medium-published source was that source).
Severino and Judicial Crisis Network pledged to spend $10 millionmakes it seem like Severino used her own money in the pledge. It might be better to say
Severino announced that Judicial Crisis Network would commit to spending $10 millionto clarify this.
was reported and discussed by publications including Mother Jones, USA Today, The Washington Post, and The New Yorkeris true and sourced, but all of those sources are primary sources in this context. Stringing together a bunch of primary sources to make what is the prose equivalent of a novel list of publications that covered the comments is WP:OR. It's better just to say what the comments were, as well as to use reliable sources that report reactions to it, when providing coverage of the comments.
