Well, in this particular case, we have deliberately not presented the merits to this court on the question of the scope of remedies, because, of course, that makes it a clean vehicle where the court doesn't have to look at it.

Again, I respectfully disagree with that forecast of the merits, but In response to the question, what I would say is we have an adversarial system. And if the government is not, for example, not respecting circuit precedent on the courts hypothetical in the Second Circuit, someone injured in the Second Circuit could take the case up.

As I understand it, longstanding policy of the Department of Justice. Yes, that we generally, as it was phrased to me, generally respect circuit precedent, but not necessarily in every case. And some examples might be a situation where we're litigating to try and get that circuit precedent overruled and so forth.

And again, and I think in the vast majority of instances, our practice has been to respect the opinion as well. in the circuits as well. But my understanding is that has not been a categorical practice in the way respect for the precedents and the judgments of the Supreme Court has been.
