There must still be value here because if there's not still value here, then what have I been doing in my life, right?

And so that's just a difficult thing for people to overcome and understand, right?

I always think of like, you know, there was some guy as late as like 2015 still out there in Times Square selling beepers.

because he invested everything he had into beeper sales, and he couldn't accept that beepers were just... There are still some people who got stock in Radio Shack.

They just can't... And that's the same thing.

It's people who still have stock and purchase with the Supreme Court, institutionalists, can't get over the fact that it is what it has become.

And that is just...

But I will say this.

That's a problem that will eventually die out.

I don't think people, young people coming up are coming up with the kind of respect and deference to the Supreme Court as even as late as my generation was given.

I always say that I was at a fulcrum because my first year in law school literally was the Bush v. Gordier.

So I went through the entirety of law school knowing that these people are paper tigers, knowing that these people are hypocrites, knowing that these people are just politicians in robes.

So I went to law school during Bush v. Gore in 9-11, right?

So it really shaped how I viewed the entire legal profession.

I was not...

with the deference for these people as people who were older than me.

And I think people younger than me, seeing what these people have wrought, I don't think there's going to be any kind of deference coming up from the millennials, coming up from Gen Z for what the court is.

I do think that there are a lot of conservative millennials and Gen Z people who like what the court is doing, who like taking away rights from women and gay people and black people and will support the court for its outcomes.

But I don't think there are a lot of young people who still believe falsely that the court is an impartial arbiter above the political fray.

The question, I think, is whether or not people, where people are on the scale of restore the Supreme Court to reform the Supreme Court, right?
