Attorney General Letter in The New York Times
The New York Times wrote about our new letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi calling on the administration to stop targeting judges and undermining the rule of law.
The letter was issued by more than 150 former federal and state judges, and was led by former U.S. Federal Judges Nancy Gertner and J. Michael Luttig, a board member of the Society for the Rule of Law Institute.

The Society for the Rule of Law Institute, a group founded in 2023 by conservative and libertarian lawyers and judges, also supported the letter.
