lot to talk about on the show. Perhaps you can break it down. Like, what is what is the reason why for people that, you know, may not know this, like, break it down simply for for people that may not have any legal background, right? Like, what is amicus brief? What is the purpose of doing this? Like, why? Why are you and Gavin and john pierce and nclu writing an amicus brief in support of President Trump for people? Because well, there's some people in the chat that don't really know what that is. Well, every single Supreme Court, this happens with every decision that people on both sides, both parties have other outside parties not affiliated with the decision.

Sometimes, you know, sometimes the justices aren't aware of certain arguments, you know, that they have a lot on their docket, maybe we could bring a certain fresh angle to an argument that they might overlook or go into further detail. In this specific brief, we wanted to go into the history of the Federalist Papers and how the Founding Fathers really conceived of executive power. So that's kind of what we wanted to bring to light here with this brief. And I think we did a pretty good and thorough job in doing so. I want to get your take on another issue as.
