And then, again, to that question of whether the Iranians will ever abide by the terms of a deal, negotiate faithfully towards a deal, just as the Obama administration understood, it's in their DNA to deceive.
And a number of columns recently have been written to the effect, and I think this is true, that there are different estimations or assessments on the part of the United States and its allies and Iran as to what success in a war or a limited military exchange
might look like.
And for the regime, they would rather take the bombing campaign than give away their enrichment rights, as long as the regime survives.
That's their number one goal.
It's unclear what the U.S.
goal, the military objective in Iran for the United States would be right now.
President Trump hasn't been specific about it, and there's some strategic value in remaining vague about your intentions.
But would it be simply, again, to inflict more damage on the programs of their nuclear
apparatus or their missile capabilities?
Or would it be, in fact, regime change?
All of that is still in the air.
And as you say, all of it, Steve, is serious.
So everything you see, if you just do a 360, when you look around you, everything you see, every aspect of American life was touched, shaped materially by Antonin Scalia.
So the time is ripe to learn about him because it will enable you to learn about modern America and how we got here.
everything from race relations to free speech rights to the presidential election of 2000 that shaped the next 25 years.
So it helps you learn about modern America to understand Antonin Scalia.
In the case of the most recent Supreme Court ruling, from I guess it was last week now, where the court ruled six to three against the lawfulness of President Trump's global tariff program, which he had predicated on a 1977 Emergency Powers Act that doesn't mention tariffs.
I think that even that decision, to some extent, bore the imprimatur of Antonin Scalia, because in crafting the majority opinion, Chief Justice Roberts went primarily, first and foremost, to the text of the 1977 emergency powers law.
That is a textualist approach, which was, of course, an approach that Justice Scalia championed, and which was a fringe theory when he came along and has become dominant now.
