Well, the other thing that's sort of interesting is I don't really understand if the law firms are now going to be doing administrative work, they're going to be conflicted out of cases where they're also suing and be willing to sue the administration. So I think that is one of the ways in which this is going to be insidious.

It's not just that we're going to get administration pro bono work, but it makes it very hard to do the kind of work that they've been doing, many NGOs partner all the time with large law firms in bringing cases. And these, by the way, they're private entities. They're entitled to be as political as they want to be.

They can be taking all Republican causes, all Democratic causes, whatever it is, they're private entities. So the idea that the administration is saying, oh, you're not being even-handed, who the hell are you to say that to a law firm? They And so it's really insidious in so many ways.

As the judges who have struck down every single executive order on the law firms that's been challenged has been immediately, within one day, struck down as violative of at least the First Amendment, if not also the Fifth and Sixth Amendment. It's a lot of different parts of the Constitution. Yeah.

That's part of our system. Whether you like the plaintiff or defendant position, It's irrelevant. That's that's how it works.
