To the editor: John G. Roberts Jr. should know that each Supreme Courtroom period, for higher or worse, is called after the presiding chief justice. (“Will voters get the message that our judicial system is on the 2024 ballot too?” Opinion, Might 24)
If he’s in any respect involved about his legacy as chief justice and that of the Roberts courtroom, it behooves him to quash essentially the most self-serving and partisan behaviors of a few of his justices.
His private repute is being sullied, and regardless of these justices’ perceived short-term positive aspects, historical past will very probably consider the Roberts courtroom as a stain on American justice and truthful play.
That’s, except Roberts makes some urgently wanted reforms.

To the editor: Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr., appointed by President George W. Bush in 2005, needs to be thought-about third-party candidate Ralph Nader’s legacy to the present Supreme Courtroom and its latest selections.
On condition that historical past, I ponder who may be the courtroom legacies ensuing from the candidacies of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and different third-party nominees in 2024.
The probabilities could also be “unsafe at any vote.”

To the editor: I used to be a choose as soon as in a small city. If my spouse had flown an upside-down flag exterior the home, I might have been upset at her and pulled it down.
If she put it again up, I might have pulled it down and walked out.
To do what’s proper and defend the Structure takes guts.

To the editor: How unhappy. First we had Justice Clarence Thomas and his insurrection-supporting spouse, and now we now have Alito and his insurrectionist flag-flying spouse.
Good factor no one’s making any references to a “unified Reich.”
