Lady inJustice
Washington, DC
January 30, 2006
What drove us to DC on an eerily quiet, cold January day, was the inauguration of Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court. George W. Bush appointed Alito to replace Sandra Day O’Connor, who was one of only two women on the court.
Through this solemn piece, we expressed our fear of the unbalancing of the Supreme Court. We represented Lady Injustice—her scales tipped to the right, her blindfold slid down her face to gag her mouth, and her sword converted to a cross. Little did we know how fateful this addition to the court would become.
