U.S. Supreme Court Marshal Gail Curley, a former Army colonel and military lawyer, has been handed a bombshell of an assignment.
When Gail Curley began her job as Marshal of the U.S. Supreme Court less than a year ago, she would have expected to work mostly behind the scenes: overseeing the court's police force and the operations of the marble-columned building where the justices work.
"I’m confident that if the truth can be found out here, she’ll find it out and present it in an unbiased manner," said retired Army Brig. Gen. Patrick Huston, her direct supervisor at the Pentagon in her last military job before the Supreme Court. Huston said he was incredibly impressed by Curley and that she had a tremendous reputation as a leader, but even as her boss of two years he didn't know if she had a spouse or children.
Curley began her military career at West Point, where just under 10% of her 1991 graduating class was women. Lisa Freidel, a member of the same 25-member company as Curley, remembered her as kind and studious but also a "pretty serious person." "You had to make sure your shoes were shined, your belt buckles were all shined and everything before formation and try to memorize the paper," she said.
