From: William Rees, Boroughbridge.

I was surprised to read the article by William Cooper in your edition of June 20, which suggested that conservative judges have undermined the US Supreme Court. The article was full of non-sequiturs and therefore gave a wholly misleading impression to your readers.

Mr Cooper complains about President Trump nominating three justices following the death or retirement of the incumbents, but that's the way the cookie crumbles. Trump was able to nominate three justices while some presidents don't get to nominate any. He mentions the allegations relating to Justice Kavanaugh prior to his nomination, without saying there was no evidence to support them.
