Nothing about the death of the first woman Supreme Court Justice?
Oh wow, good point — now updated! Total oversight!
Thank you for adding those tributes!
Interesting about the tie. I’m a civilian in government, but was just at a large meeting that was filled with LEOs and other government civilians. Everyone there was in a full suit (or uniform) and all the men had ties on. I don’t think the dark suit stereotype of LEOs will go away anytime soon (though over my admittedly short career, I have seen many more gray, blue, and patterned suits and less black).
Government still likes suits
And LEO and military need uniforms and formality so therefore have suits plus or minus ties as expected and default
I love the article that pretty much advocates for single sex spaces.
