And also, it should be decided by someone other than human rights lawyers.
Oh, yeah, definitely.
I would probably agree.
Because, you know, fundamentally, as a branch of the law, that is not a partial law.
Because human rights lawyers, you know that great phrase, is it Sinclair Lewis or someone, which is, it is difficult to get someone to disbelieve something when their salary is dependent on believing it.

is money well spent?
They don't look at the opportunity cost.
Should we have a better call sector?
And it's the same thing.
A human rights lawyer, it is in their interests for human rights to capture a greater and greater part of public discourse at the expense of democratic bodies.

You're in the amplification of grievance business.
It's very different.
