Anyone old enough to remember when DU got together and sent loads of roses to Helen Thomas? (Original Post) medeak Jul 2014 OP
great thought, but aren't there strict limits on that sort of thing for federal employees? unblock Jul 2014 #1

But getting ANYTHING to a sitting member of the Supreme Court would be a challenge. By the time the security people are done with the roses, you'd be lucky to find an intact petal. Considering how the extreme right feels about her, the security concerns are, sadly enough, probably fully justified.
