I'm sorry.
So wait a minute, Michael.
You know, Don, I want to follow up on Dina's point, because as we pay attention to these decisions, I want the audience to watch how the breakdown of justices continue to pile up 6-3, 6-3, 6-3, 6-3.
And why does that matter?
It matters because we're not talking nearly as much around the X's and O's of black letter law.
We're talking about ideological splits.
And these ideological splits are rooted beyond who actually put you into office.
They're beyond an actual president.
These are ideological splits about literally what it means to be an American.
And the Supreme Court is really at its core designed to make interpretations about the law.
But what we know and what we see and what we are witnessing is that there are a number of justices that are rather content with their power being to legislate from the bench, which is not something that's supposed to happen.
And again, we're not talking solely about black letter law here and it being interpreted.
We're talking about a super majority of conservatives who are well content
to impose their ideology about American democracy on the nation.
Now, for people who are saying, well, that's not entirely a new thing, they would be correct in that sense.
But the supermajority is where we're starting to see it play out the way that it is because you may see in the past
Decisions that are 7-2, decisions that are 5-4, but the string of six, three decisions that are breaking down specifically along these lines only reinforce the idea that this is a conversation about ideology, not about the law.
Absolutely, Don.
I think that the punishment is absolutely too severe.
And we have seen in many cases that this is consistent with what we know around sentencing data in America, where you have an alleged black perpetrator who is a male and a white male victim.
