You ready?

I was born ready.

Welcome to the advisory opinions podcast. I'm David French with Sarah Isker.

And I'm a little bit nervous walking into this podcast, Sarah, because we've got such good stuff to talk about that.

I kind of feel pressure to deliver here.

I feel pressure to these cases to live up to the great lineup that we have.

Yeah, yeah, we have a great lineup today.

We're going to talk about, and we're going to start by talking about Elon Musk, Twitter, and the lawsuit now filed to compel Elon Musk to purchase Twitter, which is fascinating on many levels.

We're going to talk about the second amendment again, but this time we're, we've heard your cry that we're going to talk about the militia clause of the second amendment and what bearing does it have on the operative clause, the right of the people to keep in bear arms.

So we're going to talk about that. We're going to talk about an abortion travel case. We're going to talk about a BDS case boycott divest and sanctioned case.

And also we're going to and we'll wind up if we have time with a little bit of rest, Judic, judicata.

This is a perfect advisory opinions lineup.

Sarah, and we pitched the perfect game. Let's find out.

Let's start with Twitter.

The basic outline here is that Elon Musk has pulled out of the deal.

Twitter has filed a lawsuit in Delaware State Court seeking to compel Elon Musk to purchase Twitter. In other words, it is trying to force Elon Musk to buy Twitter.

And I'm just going to start by saying my hats off to a list of names William Savitt Bradley Wilson, Sarah Eddie Ryan McLeod and Nitha Ready Peter Walsh Kevin Shannon Christopher Kelly Matthew Golden and Brad Sorrows.

My goodness, did you draft a compelling and interesting complaint to read? This is before we get into the legal merits of it and sort of the factual base and the factual allegations.

I just found this complaint and I rarely say this about legal documents. I certainly rarely say this about complaints.

But just a joy to read. These guys knew that this was going to be not just a legal document, but a public document, one that a whole lot of non lawyers would read or interested in this.

And they just told a story, Sarah. I mean, it was and they told a compelling story here. I was really truly impressed by just the craftsmanship of the thing.

It in my opinion is much easier in some respects to write a compelling appellate brief. Just the format itself lends itself if you're willing to put in the time and effort to good writing to good storytelling.
