I remember I can't remember what case it was, but there was the case that he argued that was the same day as another huge case. And he says in his opening to the court is, today's undercard presents the issue of, and everyone was kind of rolling their eyes. But maybe this is a selfish thing to worry about.
I do actually a little bit worry about the future of Skoda's blog because I believe he owns it. I don't know if it's about to get shut down. I don't know if it's about to get I mean, literally, I'm not joking, I think, could he get seized by the IRS if he owes all this money?

That would be in addition to all the bad things for Tom Goldstein, for his family, but that would obviously be very bad for the public if Skoda's blog were to disappear. So again, that's a selfish thing to worry about right now, but it does seem newsy and I felt like needed to be remarked upon.
