We don't really think that's true.

For some reason, they said we don't see any intent to discriminate, which is neither here nor there under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, which prevents employment discrimination.

But they also said, here's the thing, the American Bar Association is not an employer.

They're not a labor organization.

They're not an employment agency.

So therefore, Title VII doesn't really apply to them.

And the court said, ABA, continue to discriminate through the bar exam as you see fit.

Yeah, I don't know much about lawyer stuff.

I don't know spit about lawyering.

In my civilian mind, I see that as kind of a punt, legally speaking.

And maybe that's, you know, a lot of times you decide something on precedent and whether or not you feel it's right or not, that's just the precedent.

But I don't know, that felt like a punt to me by saying like,

Well, they're not an employer, an agency or labor organization.

So we're just sort of not going to hear this one.

Yeah.

And this this reveals to me something that I just find fascinating is when lawyers sue other lawyers or bodies of lawyers or judges rule on the test that it takes to create lawyers and therefore judges.

It's it just seems so fraught.

With basically opinion, because they're so like it's not like the judge is learning about this for the first time.

They're coming at it from fresh eyes like this is like part of their fabric is having been a law student and becoming a lawyer and then becoming a judge.

You know, I just find it fascinating.
