Now, if you had a relationship with one or more of these individuals before this week's announcement, I suppose you might reasonably send a congratulatory note to that individual, or to those individuals, on LinkedIn or Facebook or Instagram or via email or possibly even by snail mail. Pick one. And only one.
If, on the other hand, you had no relationship with anyone on this list before now, leave these poor folks alone.
No, seeing one of them across the room at a seminar, or sharing an elevator once at the Daley Center, does not constitute a preexisting relationship. Pretending otherwise will not enhance your chances for a bench appointment. And you may be branded as a stalker.
You have been warned.
