Well-

We ended up going, they got to stay at the Court of Appeal.

That was reversed.

I've been up at the U.S.

Supreme Court, and just within the last five days, they denied, the U.S.

Supreme Court denied the petition.

But one of the things that's happened is Justice Gorsuch has basically called out this case, this 120-year-old case named Jacobson, and said that it's been given a towering presence, and I couldn't agree more.

And that's the fight that we've been fighting.

that basically unelected bureaucrats from health departments are decreeing what people can do or not do, and that all of that is predicated on this state of emergency that our governor has announced, I think, going on 20 months ago.

We're still in a state of emergency in California, which is the only basis upon which the county health directors can do what they do.

It's not spread outside in any way.

The only thing I mean, if you saw the stacks of paper that that we file back and forth in the briefing, the only thing that was ever cited by the county in defense of this outdoor dining ban was a what I would characterize as an anecdotal example of a person in Wuhan who had said he got it and he thought he got it outside.

That is what that is different.

Well, and the problem is, is when you ask for any kind of data, when you ask for any kind of anything, just show me something, they can't answer you.

And that's a very frustrating situation to be in, both as a lawyer and as a restaurateur, as you call it.

It's...

You know, restaurants are on a very thin margin to begin with, and you can't just continue to destroy restaurants and destroy the small businesses.

And that's unfortunately what we've got.

And it's only a matter of time before this catches up to us.

I've said before, this is not going to end well.
