And we have โ I know it's not Thomas and Gorsuch because they dissent, right? Yep. I don't know. If you made me guess, I guess I would guess it's Justice Kavanaugh. Interesting.

So, you know, half of them were given precedent and half of them were given a sympathetic defendant and the

It still insisted on following the official story of the law. And so โ Does this vindicate your approach to legal interpretation in some way? You know, you can read it either way.
