Yeah, I told you.

Yeah, I told you.

So it was great.

You may have.

You may have.

And as I understand this, tell me if this is wrong, you could think of the constitutional law scholars who haven't reconciled themselves to this question, who haven't asked if constitutional law is possible in two different camps. There are the people who think constitutional law is all bunk, and there is no constitutional law. This is probably most of my colleagues say things like this.

It's just an illusion to think there's constitutional law. And then you have maybe the naive people The naive people who think, oh, of course, there's constitutional law because it's a constitution and the Supreme Court follows it. And, you know, it's the most important kind of law. And I take it. Do you see yourself as saying something to both sides of that or are you on one side of that?

Yeah, I mean, there are many different versions of this, right? So you might get, well, okay, there's constitutional law in easy cases. You know, we do seem to have an electoral college. But any constitutional law question that makes it to the appellate courts, they might say, is one where there's sort of inherently no law.

But some of this, and I'm, I mean, I remember hearing there was no such thing as international law, because it's just all politics all the way down. And, you know, the idea that there's international law is an illusion created by human rights lawyers and Harvard Law professors. I mean, that's implausible to me.

And then once I accepted that drug, they told me, well, the next step was to recognize the same thing as true of constitutional law, which is an illusion made up by constitutional activists and Harvard law professors. So then I became nervous that all of this kind of law was an illusion.

Well, my co-author, Steve Sachs, used to always press them at this point and say, you know, when they go up at the faculty parking lot, do they always get in their own car or do they take somebody else's? As far as I can tell, the law of the faculty parking lot seems to be real. Everybody seems to know who owns whose car and nobody violates that.

But I take it, so the idea is that as to the faculty parking lot, and for that matter, contract law, there's a set of people who have guns called the Cook County Sheriff's Department, and to a lesser extent, the University of Chicago Police Department, although they don't do as much as they used to, but them too, who, you know, they will stop you from getting into somebody else's car, at least if somebody calls them, and they will come and take your stuff if you don't pay your contracts.
