0:00.0	You ready?
0:02.0	I was born ready. Welcome to advisory opinions. I'm Sarah Isger and David I am unusually energetic about this
0:26.2	podcast episode. Guess what Sarah I am unusually energetic about this one as well so
0:32.0	maybe for the same reason, maybe for different reasons.
0:35.2	I have feelings. So we're going to talk about the Rob Her report in all of its

0:43.6	then a little public accommodation law hypothetical,

1:32.1	This is our core calling. Sarah. It is eliminating legal

1:40.9	other problem is I feel like people are holding themselves out as neutral legal experts and purporting to give you their opinions of this report and then privately saying, oh man, that part's really hard to justify.

1:54.0	Oh, I know.
