Judges generally, and Justices of #SCOTUS especially, communicate with citizens through written words 95%+ of the time. It is thus fascinating to read Judge Kethledge, in his book co-authored w/ @ErwinRWB, note that “The process of writing a complex document —for most writers the

most solitary of tasks— forces one to think much harder about its subject than does editing a document written by someone else...Just as the process of writing makes one think more deeply,so too can it make the writer feel more deeply.” Judge Kethledge and @ErwinRWB are writing

about Winston Churchill’s speech of October 5, 1938, when he made a profoundly unpopular but completely accurate speech in the Commons about the Munich Agreement. Pages 149-150 amazon.com/Lead-Yourself-…

If @realDonaldTrump nominates Judge Kethledge to #SCOTUS, an extraordinary side benefit will be that thousands will read Lead Yourself First. It’s longer portraits of Jane Goodall, Churchill, Dr. King, and John Paul the Great mixed w/ shorter vignettes about extraordinary people

like Katy Simonis and co-author @ErwinRWB are inspiring + extremely useful. The character + jurisprudence of Judge Kethledge will be foremost for @realDonaldTrump, but this book, like the political impact I’ve already written about, are huge tie-breakers. amazon.com/Lead-Yourself-…
