No, there is.

I think the New York legal system was an example of that.

You know, I covered the Trump trials and I was in the courtroom and he was tried and convicted.

And when I came out, there were people dancing in the street.

There was complete ecstasy.

It was it was true rage that was being unleashed and the joy of it.

And this the legal system failed.

Eventually it corrected it.

Eventually appellate courts did the right thing.

I'm hoping they continue to do the right thing.

But this is a problem.

You know, you have jurors and judges who can ignore the law.

But we've had that throughout our history and we have survived.

Fortunately, we have a multilayered system.

It doesn't always happen as fast as we want, but it has been this bad.

Well, yeah.

I mean, if you look back at like the Jefferson Adams period, you know, the I once was in a in a hearing and a member said, you know, Professor, don't tell us about the forming of the republic.

People today talk like they want to kill each other.

And I said, Congressman, they were actually trying to kill each other.

That's what the alien and sedition acts were.
