I wrote a letter to the editor of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch after spending a day at the federal court house last week. Because I expected it would be printed in the paper, if published at all, and because I didn’t see it there, I thought it had failed of its aim. But I didn’t think of the online paper. Here’s my letter, and a couple of links here and here to local blogs that tell a good deal of the back story if you look around.

I blogged about the back story over a year ago. There’s a great deal I know about it that I can’t say, but I’m going to write about it again soon.
