Two hundred forty-nine years and three days ago red-coated British soldiers marched into Lexington and Concord to quell rebellious Americans. Patriots on and near the Lexington town green and Concord's North Bridge across its eponymously named river skirmished with and then repulsed His Majesty's armed men. These were the first shots heard around the world -- the sparks that set off the eventually successful American Revolution.
My wife Sally and I were in Concord and Lexington last weekend to explore the origins of the Revolution. It was inspiring. Nice to have you bringing these universal themes into our current political morass. The rule of law is being sorely tested. All od us need to learn from our rich heritage that was sparked on the North Bridge.
A powerful and eloquent argument for protecting and strengthening the Rule of Law against erosion caused by partisans and ideologues in judicial robes. An important contribution to the public discussion of issues and values crucial to democracy.

The rule of law .... sadly & barely aspirational during the Trump era of the 21st century.
But a brilliant dissection of the stakes and their history!
