They’re human. They’re elected. If you assume that they are doing their jobs and doing them properly, you can focus your comments on the apparent INJUSTICE that you see/sense/feel. They may not rule your way (this time), but they do take seriously their roles as arbiters of justice, and they don’t get many letters from their constituents. They might like to hear from you.

With due respect to my Velveteen colleague, this is my contrary perspective (also from a Judge’s former clerk).
