Elizabeth Cook’s article on the editorial page in Sunday’s paper (“Fiery rebuke raises new questions”) is a splendid job because it does not take a party side in the current struggle to fill the vacant seat on the Supreme Court. To quote from the article, “What matters most is justices’ knowledge and interpretation of the law, unshaded by political ideology.” Thank you for a very good piece of writing.
