Judge Tanya Chutkan made her mark in the judicial world and garnered respect before she ever was involved in the Trump case. She is definitely a s/hero. It takes courage, keen knowledge of the law, and tenacity to make decisions that actually put her at personal risk. I have admired her since I first read about her and I think she’s the perfect judge for this case. I wish her safety, above all, and continued courage as she navigates this impossibility difficult defendant.

Ruth...I so agree!...thank you for this excellent and important article. If we fall in line with TFG's desires, staying fixated only on HIM, we just play into his game of grabbing all the attention. Being more alert to "what is right," and honoring those who are upholding the values of democracy from which we derive the right to think, speak, and vote as we choose, is critically important right now and for the foreseeable future. We should not take these people for granted or they and their kind will fade into invisibility in our endangered country.

Tanya Chutkan, Fani Willis, Liz Cheney, et.al. should be as well known as Paul Revere and George Washington. I agree that it's up to us to make this happen.
