I was calm.

I was dangerous.

Was Bob the secret, the crystal-free meditation coach?

No.

But close, because Bob, like Ben, like Liz, are human.

Harvey is an A.I.,

a bespoke system I'd been building with a legal AI company for the last year.

And I trained it on every question asked by a Supreme Court justice in the last 25 years, and everything they've written, every opinion, every concurrence, every dissent, every separate opinion.

And in that, patterns emerged.

It predicted the contours of the very argument I would face.

It knew that Justice Gorsuch would ask me about the taxing power.

It knew Justice Kavanaugh was going to grill me on tariffs versus embargoes.

It nailed Justice Barrett's worry about tariff refunds.

And the Chief Justice?

It didn't just predict his question.

It predicted a possible escape route, how the Chief Justice could vote for us and at the same time protect the institution he had spent his entire career defending.

Harvey glimpsed that narrow door.

I held the door open.

The Chief Justice walked through it, writing a six to three opinion, striking down the tariffs.
