Judge Gertner has announced her retirement from the bench in September. It will be a loss for the federal bench, where Gertner’s passion for justice has made a difference in many people’s lives. She may retire, but I doubt Nancy Gertner will ever be described as retiring. I look forward to her next adventures. Maybe Congress, Your Honor? I can vouch for that path.
Please share widely!

Sorry for the hijack, but you and I had an email correspondence earlier this week about the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative. I emailed you back asking permission to share that correspondence here, but I haven’t heard back from you – please let me know if I can proceed with a blog post about the details, ok?

p>As to Judge Gertner, I’ll certainly miss her presence on the bench, and I agree with you that should she run for future office, she deserves support.

That race could use an articulate, passionate progressive. I’d like to see her name thrown in the hat. Elizabeth Warren is also a good choice.

Well, since Rep. Winslow moonlights as counsel to Scott Brown’s campaign, an endorsement for anyone other than Brown in the Senate race seems unlikely. đŸ˜€

Um, no. Funny how so many people bemoan the toxic partisanship of American politics, but we need to step up and support those who bridge the divide. Brown is one of those, perhaps the highest profile one of those, in the country today. We need more people like him to help move America forward. This “I win when you lose” mentality is killing our Nation. It needs to stop. So, on merit (in addition to my “moonlighting” on his behalf), it’s Brown in 2012 for me. But I’d support Judge Gertner against ANY of our current Congressmen…

David, you don’t think I’d be so contrarian as to disagree with you! :0)
johnk says
maybe you should take your own advice. If I am reading you correctly (which I am), you would vouch for Judge Gertner against Democrats. That’s so very nice of you.
