The real concern, I think, is that your argument seems to turn our justice system, in my view at least, into a catch-me-if-you-can kind of regime from the standpoint of the executive, where everybody has to have a lawyer and file a lawsuit in order for the government to stop violating people's rights.
I understand. Let me just let me just turn your attention to one other thing.
Your argument seems to turn our justice system, in my view at least, into a catch-me-if-you-can kind of regime from the standpoint of the executive, where everybody has to have a lawyer and file a lawsuit in order for the government to stop violating people's rights.
And I don't understand how that is remotely consistent with the rule of law.
Oh, I'm delighted to be here.
I am.
Well, you know, I got a call and someone said, we heard that this was your lifelong dream and it is.
To be a Broadway performer and a justice. I had both of those. Really? Yes. I wanted, I told the Harvard admissions people that I needed to go there because I wanted to be the first black female Supreme Court justice to appear on a Broadway stage.
It is an actual Broadway show. It is Anne Juliet. They have invited me to do a special walk-on role that I'm told they wrote for me. Wow. So I'm very excited.
See, it worked.
you know, I actually like it. What does it entail? Yeah, what do you have to do? Well, we changed some of the services that were available to the justices and the staff during my tenure, so I feel very proud of it.
Yeah, I know.
Well, we didn't have online ordering before. And in my former court, you had an app on your phone and you could send down for a sandwich and then go pick it up and not have to wait in the big public line. And when I got to the Supreme Court, I was like, this is outrageous. You have to stand in a line to get a sandwich?
I did. Right.
Yes. Right? Mo and I knew each other in college, which was fantastic.
A terrific production.
That is correct. That is correct.
It was fantastic.
You were great.
Well, we were in a class together, a drama class, and Matt Damon at that time, and Mo might know this, I don't know, but he was kind of well-known on campus and in the local community because he had already started doing community theater. Right. And so we took a drama class and the teacher paired us up for a scene. You and Matt Damon. Me and Matt Damon.
