Souter love widens

I received this gratifying letter a few days ago in my Facebook inbox. The writer, “LS,” an entertainment journalist, found me through my Facebook club, “David Souter: Resident U.S. Supreme Court Hottie,” which I formed many years ago.

Hi, Elaine. I’m just a Facebook user who happened upon your Soutie page. It was adorable. Loved what you wrote. Just wanted to tell you that.

Gosh, I wish The Man wasn’t retiring. Gonna miss him madly. Such a wonderful judge. … I’m not a lawyer or a law student (I actually work for a newspaper, in the entertainment section). I’m just a SCOTUS fan, and just totally dig Suitcase Soutie.

That warmed my heart. The club has doubled in size since Souter announced his retirement from the Supreme Court last month. It is now six members strong!
