Lane von Herzen: Upholding the Supreme Court's Ruling

My Third Novel's Conclusion, My Heartbreak

My heart begins to break when I think about completing this particular book -- because this narrative has sustained me like no other story I've known. It's both more personal and more universal than my other works. But beyond memory and archetype, it's a cri-de-coeur about needing to become the person one is destined to be. And in the writing, I have met my own life's work, my own fated journey -- having the sense all the while that the pages are suffused with a resonance, an energy, an electrified field that defies explanation. Writers hope and pray to be overtaken by a work in this way -- to be conscripted into passionate service of a profound story. To experience it even once in a lifetime seems a great privilege. I still have several months before this novel is complete, and this constitutes my reprieve. Because I'm not ready for the beauty to end.

Upholding the Supreme Court's Ruling

OIG Hotline, if the Supreme Court has ruled that investigative reports should be provided to me regarding my case, lower courts should not be empowered to overturn or "re-adjudicate" that determination.

I support all efforts to overturn any ruling by a lower court that blocks the release of full documentation to me at the earliest possible time.

Thank you for your assiduous efforts in this regard.

Certainly, we are seeing disrespect and disregard for Supreme Court rulings in a manner that is unprecedented in the history of the United States.

Yet, our long term human rights cannot and will not be preserved without our insistence on the Supreme Court's irreplaceable role in ruling that certain documents must be conveyed to those with lawful right of access.

Most sincerely,
