And I'm Dan Epps. So Will, the court is finally starting to give us some material to work with. It makes our jobs a little easier. We don't have to do one of those argument previews, which are a bit more work. Instead, we can just download some PDFs from the website and give you some medium-hot, lukewarm takes on them.

Yeah. So that does seem to accord with my general impression. I mean, there, there's no shortage of other shadow docket things happening, but your kind of classic error correction, some revs, as we say in the biz do seem to have declined.
