Well, yeah, I would say in terms of calming down this whole notion of Trump's third term, right.

Harriet Tubman and... I would just ask about, you know, how did she summon the courage, the conviction, and the character to do what she did? She freed herself, crossed the Mason-Dixon line, and then went back down South at least a dozen times, freeing at least 100, if not 200 or more Black slaves, putting herself in jeopardy. This is a Harriet Tubman moment that we're in.

In terms of the sacrifice, the courage, the character, the conviction that's going to be required. And I think that will be a conversation that we all could benefit from and certainly that those of us in Congress could benefit from.

Yeah. Well, you know, I had the opportunity to work at Paul Weiss for several years, and I was drawn to Paul Weiss at the time. A. Leon Higginbotham had left the Third Circuit, a prominent African-American lawyer who turned into a jurist. He was the Chief Justice of the Third Circuit. The firm had a great history.

Judge Rifkin, you know, who really viewed sort of the role of the lawyer as a public citizen. And then great lawyers like Arthur Lyman and Marty London. And I got great training from there, knew I would. And it also embraced, you know, pro bono and public service. And so, you know, I haven't had the opportunity to talk to Brad about that. the decision that was made.
