Welcome to the advisory opinions podcast. This is David French with Sarah Isger and I'm super excited about this podcast for a couple of reasons. One, we have an incredible guest about a case that I have strong feelings about

who Sarah is going to introduce and then I got to admit I got to admit the next thing we're going to talk about or one of the things we're going to talk about is Sarah was right. I was wrong. I care about billboards.

Yes.

I care passionately about billboards.

I know it David.

I'm all in on billboards. All right. So that's number two.

Sarah is going to give us an update from the Federalist Society Convention, which is going on. She claims that's the nerd prom. I just thought that was any gathering advice of advisory opinions listeners.

And then we're also going to talk some about the Kyle Rittenhouse case that is literally burning up the online spaces right now with commentary.

Sadly, Sarah, there's not the same attention being paid to the Ahmed Arbery trial that is going on at the exact same time.

But that's not as fully they're not as fully into the testimony. It's just now unspooling.

But Sarah, you're at FedSoc. Well, not literally right now, but you've been going to the FedSoc Convention. What's happening?

The Federalist Society Convention is back in person at the Mayflower Hotel in downtown DC. And it is nerd horrific. So technically the program began this morning, but Wednesday night is the traditional drinking of the judges.

And many a judge was spotted in the Mayflower lobby judges. These are all circuit judges. I saw Judge Bumate, Judge Grant, Judge Oldum, Judge Van Dyke, Judge Jones, of course.

That's my judge. Judge prior Judge Smith. I mean, it was a smorgasbord of a pellet federal judges.

And everyone seemed really happy to be back in person looking forward to the big prom tonight, which Tom Cotton will be speaking at. That's at Union Station.

But I'm going to head over this afternoon, David and see if I can't talk to some people. Get some on the record comment in the hallway.

That would be great. And you know, find some friends of the pod, even if they're not willing to sort of say it publicly and get some of their thoughts on the Nodog doctrine. I mean, that would be, you know, you know when we'll reach the absolute pinnacle is when the words of Nodog appear somewhere.

It's true.

There was mention of the 333 court. Of course, conversations. The, of course, Texas solicitor generals were in full force.

In their, you know, all the previous one. So that was fun. Anyway, yeah. So I'll I'll report back more on Monday. But this is there's not a whole lot nerder than the Federalist Society convention.

Well, that I would say in all the best ways and all the best ways a traveling the audience, the traveling a podcast might have them beat in all. And I say that with all the love and affection in regard in my heart.

So Sarah, we have a guest.
