Couldn't we just have someone... A lot of energy has been put into deciding this question of... Yeah.

Yeah. But I mean, you could also allocate it.

Yeah. But I mean, you could also allocate it.

I mean, like sometimes I wonder, and this is something I'll probably come back to with some other cases that I listened to is, you know, sometimes I think that the way to decide these kinds of disputes is not kind of backwards looking legal interpretation, but maybe it would be better if like there was like a court of Congress that could just say, okay, here's the stakes, policy stakes.

We understand why there's this like confusing gap in the law right now. Let's just give you the answer. Yeah, could be. Yeah, I don't think I'm going to say anything more about it. Did you have anything to say about it? No, that's fine. I thought it was fine. Unanimous. Listening to the argument, I wasn't sure it was going to be a quickie unanimous decision.

I thought that the petitioner's counsel did a good job trying hard to cast this decision as a non-discretionary decision that would be subject to review, but I guess the court was not persuaded and decided to just get this one done quickly.

And if there is an equally long delay between this and our next episode, We will not have any good excuse other than if we're dead or under arrest or Will has been seized by the new administration as a disloyal usurper.

Bye.

Bye.

So, Will, we have had perhaps an unpredictably long gap, or maybe a predictably long gap since our last episode. It's been more than a month. Some things have happened. We've had some interesting stories about behind-the-scenes stuff at the court. We are not going to get into any of that today. We'll save that for a more regular episode. We've got something cool.

I just did want to get some clarification out before we dive in, which is the reason for our delay is not shame for not giving sufficient credit to Benjamin Franklin on the last episode. I think I may have suggested, you know, you were praising him and we talked about, you know, Thomas Jefferson as an inventor. And we got multiple emails from Ted Frank and Dan Simon about that.
