To the Honorable Chief Justice Roberts and Associate Justices Thomas, Alito, Sotomayor, Kagan, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Barrett, and Jackson:

I spent more than half of my life working in the legal field. From the very first, the members of the Supreme Court were my idols, my professional role models: the likes of Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., Earl Warren, Felix Frankfurter, and William Rehnquist. They were men (no women on the Court yet) who were devoted to the honest, objective, non-partisan, completely apolitical dispensation of justice for all.

So, with all due respect . . . what the hell has happened? Where did the road to Justice take a 180-degree turn from Capitol Hill back downtown to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue? When did partisan politics begin to enter into the U.S. judicial system?

And, most puzzling to me: What are you afraid of? Your jobs are for life. You can’t be fired. What hold does the current administration have over each and every one of you?

You, who are addressed as “Honorables,” are the last hope of this great nation of ours. When are you going to stand up and do whatever is necessary to save us from disaster . . . to uphold our Constitution as you have sworn to do? Or are we, after all, truly lost?

In memory of this great woman, and for the sake of all Americans, I beg you to come to your senses, stand tall, and do the right thing, as she would have done.

Just sayin’ . . .
