Honestly, I don’t like the idea of a Supreme Court that allows letters to influence their decisions.

I strongly doubt the justices give these letters more than a cursory glance. I doubt they even read them at all.

I certainly hope they don’t. There is a reason the Founding Fathers did not subject the Supreme Court to election by the public. Their job should be to base decisions on the law. That often means making decisions the majority of the public will dislike.
