Nice note, Virginia, on your personal experience.

I was stationed at South Post, Ft. Myer from November 1969 to November '70 (learning Viet all that year) and on our last day, year-end exams, I took a round-about way to the exam site, stopping off at the Supreme Court. Just to see the building, several of whose justices I'd long admired, been reading.

Turned out they were in session, and the guard motioned for me please to come forward, have a look

Hugo Black. William O, Douglas. Thurgood Marshall. There they were.

A year later and our friend, Lewis P. got his reward for so advancing U.S. commercial vulgarity.

Let's hope Clarence and his fellow taker of bribes, flyer of the flags of insurrection, don't insist on keeping their corrupt tenure, even if Dems have landslide this Nov.
