Thank you Judge Raymond J. Dearie
for helping to keep justice alive in America's
system of laws. Judge Dearie was appointed
as a special master last week by federal judge
Aileen M. Cannon from Florida, who ordered him
to perform a series of tasks related to the papers
taken from Mar-a-Lago. The legal tap dancing
by a number of lawyers is mind boggling but
it was refreshing to hear Judge Dearie tell both
sides of the issue, "we are going to proceed,
with what I call responsible dispatch."
This small story appeared seven days after
Attorney General Merrick B. Garland addressed
new citizens at Ellis Island, the site of his family's
American origin story, and warned that the country
had become divided by factionalism, which has
imperiled democracy and the rule of law.
During these weeks the world seems to be
seeing the best of us and the fear many of us
have toward change. Even when it seems
we have lost trust with each other, a single
action such as Judge Raymond J. Dearie
may help us regain the faith we have that
we will be able to proceed with "responsible
dispatch toward the future."
