Justice John Roberts,

It has been several years since I’ve written to you. I had never imagined that the Supreme could achieve such a nadir in reputation, but then I also never imaged to what lengths the “conservative” justices of your court would stoop to return our United States to the 19^thcentury. If all the so-called conservative justices had done was to misconstrue textual interpretation of the law with cherry picked historical analysis; your associates and yourself would have gotten away with your crimes against Reason Herself. It is not jurisprudence or Congress which protects our Republic and our People from your kind Sir, but your own corruption, greed, and arrogance that in the end will be your downfall.

The instrument of your faction’s downfall, gifts (bribes?), luxury vacations, trips on private jets, yachts, sweetheart real estate deals, overpriced book deals and speaking engagements from your friends. It seems that many Supreme Court Justices have forgotten what every toddler learns by the age of two – just how to say “no”. Supreme Court justices who have also forgotten how to recuse themselves from any cases which affect those same beneficent friends.

I have mocked you in the past for your carefully cultivated ignorance of how our American society works, of our history of racial animus and discrimination, and even of your own past*. I do still marvel at your ignorance and the hardness of your heart, but I also weep for damage, you and the conservative majority continue to do to our fellow citizens. Your saving grace is that our fellow Americans are not a subtle people. Your public positions on so many issues and your fellow conservatives’ sensitivity to criticism make you perfect “heels” in the parlance of professional wrestling. You make the case against yourselves much better to the public that I or anyone else ever could.

God save our United States and your Honorable Court,

Douglas Mitchell

Chief Justice Roberts,

I had the misfortune this week to read the text of the oral arguments presented to your court for ABIGAIL NOEL FISHER, v. UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS – from Wednesday December 9th 2015. You may remember me. I’ve written to you before. One of your comments in these oral arguments, struck me as most instructive about why we need more diversity in classrooms in our United States. ( page 55 of the transcript. )

CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS: What ­­ — what unique — what unique perspective does a minority student bring to a physics class?

Please compare with another quotation of yours from an opinion article you wrote at the age of 17 (1972) for your high school paper about admitting girls to the then all-male La Lumiere School, in La Porte, Indiana.

I tend to think that the presence of the opposite sex in the classroom will be confining rather than catholicizing,” he wrote. “I would prefer to discuss Shakespeare’s double entendre and the latus rectum of conic sections without a [b]londe giggling and blushing behind me.

Your seventeen year old self knew that his literature and geometry classes would be very different learning environments if the unique perspectives of female students were introduced into his classes. It is however, very unfortunate how in the conservative mind the fear of change itself can defile the reasoning ability of even the most brilliant of students.
What could you have accomplished if you had had the benefit of these different perspectives?

What could you have accomplished without your fear of those who are different?

Instead of your establishing the legal precedents for the Corporate Feudal State which will reduce most of the people of the United States to serfdom; you might have expanded civil liberties in our United States. You might have become a great public defender, a great prosecutor, or even a great legislator.

It is my hope that as our chief ‘Justice’ you may some day bring justice to the people of our United States.

Respectfully yours,

Doug Mitchell
