I agree that that's consistent with Trump's approach always, which is the blizzard of legal approaches. And then they'll just make an argument, even if it's completely spurious, because frankly, that's what January 6 was. It was insane. It was, you know, there was no lawyer who thought that you could

turn January 6th from a ceremonial ministerial, essentially rubber stamping of the electoral certificates the states had already approved, that you could turn that into an event, you know, with consequences. And yet they find one lawyer to make a kind of crazy argument. That was John Eastman.

So that's the approach that I have thought they would take to undermining the sanctity of some of these judicial rulings. They'll just say, yeah, exactly. Well, when the judge said we weren't allowed to spend the money, he didn't mean this money, blah, blah, blah. And then it'll spawn its own series of lawsuits. And again, we only have one four-year term.

Look at how successfully Trump tied up all of the lawsuits and criminal cases against him, even when he was out of office.

So I think that scenario that you float is one that I've been bracing for as well.
