Dear Greg,
I think the Alabama legal community has a civic obligation in the 2022 elections to offer instruction to Alabama voters regarding the constitution and the rule of law.
In that vein, I have appealed to the Alabama State Bar and to Alabama law school professors. See, inter alia, https://al6thcongdist-ihaveuntiljan13.blogspot.com/2022/04/alabamastatebar-civic-obligations-re.html and https://al6thcongdist-ihaveuntiljan13.blogspot.com/2022/05/september-2021-ua-first-amendment.html.
I have sought to draw you into this, as indicated by tweets of mine at https://twitter.com/search?f=live&q=(from%3Arobshattuckal06)%20(%40gregorycook)&src=typed_query.
Your campaign website https://cookforcourt.com/issues/ shows your own belief in the importance of the constitution and the rule of law.
I hope that belief will allow you to elaborate publicly for the benefit of Alabama voters in the 2022 elections.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
From: Cook For Court <info@cookforcourt.com>

Rob,
Thank you for reaching out to the campaign. Mr. Cook has read your email and is aware of your engagement on social media. Mr. Cook will do everything possible as a Supreme Court Justice to uphold the Constitution and the rule of law. He is committed to this practice and, while he cannot respond to every engagement, supports your efforts. He is concerned by the political ads and interviews of his opponent, taking political positions on specific issues that could come before the court. For this reason, Mr. Cook is careful not to take specific positions that would require his recusal in important matters such as abortion, critical race theory, and transgender. As an attorney, this careful speech should give you confidence that Mr. Cook will uphold the values that you hold dear, including maintaining the independence of and confidence in the judiciary.
Best regards,
Greg Cook for Supreme Court Campaign

Thank you, Greg.
I will absolve you from anything further on the civic obligation that I think the Alabama legal community has in the 2022 elections to offer instruction to Alabama voters regarding the constitution, the rule of law, and other legal issues that I think are relevant to Alabama voters' decisions in 2022.
I will use my absolution of you to heighten my importuning in other quarters of the Alabama legal community, including the Alabama State Bar and Alabama law professors.
While I won't look for any further response from you, I will probably keep you apprised of other engagements that I am able to achieve in the legal community, for whatever effect the content of those engagements may have on your judicial thinking.
Sincerely,
Rob
