It is a lot of, you know, unsubstantiated stuff that makes leaps in historical logic.
Yeah, I did think that Thomas's opinion there was very strong.
I liked it perhaps even more than his birthright citizenship opinion, but because it does call a spade a spade and says, look, we're not playing Orwellian games here.
There are two genders.
And yes, there are exceptions for people with multiple XXXY chromosomes and all that sort of thing.

He has finally been vindicated.
I thought that Barrett's opinion was right on the law, and that's a bad policy.
I think Congress should change that law to tighten it up, especially to prevent, you know, Mississippi has five days, you can count it, to allow a little leeway for the ballot to arrive.
