Ready?

I was born ready.

Welcome to Advisory Opinions. I'm Sarah Isger and that's David French and we are coming at you from Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, where we are on the 2025 legal Eagles trip.

David, we just finished day one. What do you think so far? It's been great. Now, this is a legal podcast, so we're not going to dive too much into the

ends and outs of the Battle of Gettysburg. But the thing that I've appreciated about it so far was how

our guides got us into the heads of the different generals and commanders and basically saying

a lot of the easy narratives that you hear about Lee made this mistake or Longstreet made this mistake or

Meade did this are based on, you know, the very definition of Monday morning quarterbacking.

And he's did a really good job of getting us into the heads of each one of the players and how

they were operating under very limited information. And a lot of the mistakes were extremely logical based on what they knew.

So it's just, I strongly, if listeners, if you've not been to Gettysburg, strong recommend.

Strong recommend.

It's great.

And we'll bring you some fun from this Gettysburg trip next week. But for today, we're just

recording a normal episode from you, just from the Best Western in Gettysburg. Exactly.

And in between, when we just finished our tour and the visitor center, and then we're heading

over to a former Civil War hospital for dinner this evening with several more exciting

guest speakers to come. So also, we of course have the May 15th extravaganza coming up where

you can watch a live advisory opinions. You can join us for the oral argument that starts at 10 a.m.

We'll be live blogging during that with special guests,

Chicago law professor Will Bode and Berkeley Law Professor Amanda Tyler, both friends of the pod.

David Lab will also join Zach Shemtod, the new executive editor of Skotas blog, all for that live
