Mark, what should we call this conversation today?

I sense, Mary, that you have gleaned from my work with Dahlia Lithwick that we are strongly opposed to a Supreme Court curtain raiser.

Like, allergic to the term, as far as I can tell.

Those are fierce words, friend.

Fighting words, one might say.

But I stand by them.

They're going to hear some big cases.
