You ready?

I was born ready.

So thank you so much for hosting us here. This is our second live podcast that we've ever done. The first, I feel like I'm behind a speaker.

Our first was at the University of Tennessee, what I like to call the real UT.

But it's a real, it's a real honor to be here. And what was not mentioned in the introduction of Sarah is that we actually bonded in 2015 over one of my least prescient takes as a pundit or analyst, which was the real outsider to emerge in the 2016 cycle is not going to be Donald Trump.

But Carly Fierena, that did not age well at all.

I really enjoyed my time in the Fiery administration.

That was a good time.

There's a multiverse version where I like, yep, that was great.

So we're recording this podcast with full knowledge that Russia just launched a ground invasion of Ukraine.

This is not a, this is not a foreign policy podcast. This is a legal podcast. We are going to cover some of the international legal aspects of it.

We're going to cover some of the law of war aspects of all of this as this unfolds.

But this podcast is not going to focus on what's happening in Ukraine.

For if you want to get full analysis from the dispatch crew tune into our podcast tomorrow, which is going to be Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine, and then perhaps a little bit more Ukraine.

So this one, we're going to talk about really three things before we open it up to questions.

When we're going to talk about a oral argument yesterday in the Supreme Court in a public charge case that was fascinating.

And Sarah is going to navigate you through that discussion. And for those of you who are sort of civil procedure, Fed courts nerds, this is your podcast.

So 25,000 people just stopped the podcast and 10 people are listening.

That guy who has the rule 22.4 tattoo from the Supreme Court, like that person still is still listening.

That person is still listening. Yeah.

And then we're going to talk about 303 creative a case that was just grant assert grant at the Supreme Court involving a web designer who is challenging doing a pre enforcement challenge to a Colorado public accommodations law.

So we're going to talk about that from a free speech standpoint. And we're also going to talk about that from a legal consistency standpoint.
