| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Courtside, everyone, where we discuss the post-election litigation brought by Donald Trump. |
| 0:05.6 | It's day 24 after the election. |
| 0:08.0 | I hope all of you had lovely Thanksgivings. |
| 0:10.6 | I certainly did. |
| 0:11.7 | I was celebrating the founders and the idea that in this nation, we the people rule. |
| 0:16.7 | And there have been many painful exclusions from that principle. |
