Sir.  You may want to read the article.  I did have to reread it because, at first pass, I could not believe that they would be so brazenly arrogant.  In Washington State, Supreme Court justices do have to stand for reelection every now and again.  A justice whose worldview is serving the people would welcome the opportunity to get out and interact with the masses.  These two obviously think it below their station to have to do so.
