And so, yeah, I mean, look, if I was a member of Congress and I fast,
And I found out this happened.
I'd be furious, not because I necessarily have a reasonable expectation of privacy that other people don't.
But the idea of what I'm doing in my position as a member of Congress should be completely separate from the knowledge of the executive branch, if I so choose, comes down again to the basic thing of separation of powers.
And I think we unfortunately, because Congress is unpopular and because people say, look, only 15 percent of Americans approve of Congress.
which has been that way since the founding of Congress because it just is a faceless institution.
But ever since that, like we have been OK with chipping away at their power or their ability to do what they need to do.
But that is really the only voice you have.
And that's an important thing for people to remember.
You do not have a voice through the president of the United States.
His job is simply to execute the laws that you, through your member of Congress, have created.
Keep in mind, too, like when you're in a skiff, because I assume that probably most of your folks listening haven't been in a skiff is.
Yeah, that's right.
Sorry.
We'll get you in a skiff someday.
It is very sanitized.
You are allowed to walk in with a basically a notebook and a pen, but you cannot take your notes with you.
I've seen people take notes with them.
So I guess it's gray area, but you technically can't do that.
So you walk in basically defenseless, you know, as it should be, because your job is then to just see what's presented in front of you, commit it to memory and leave.
