I mean, people across this country overwhelmingly disapprove of this move. And it shows you again how this administration is trying to get people to really set aside their humanity. It's so hypocritical of this administration that leans so deeply into faith and religion and groups of people who are brought together in their houses of worship, but then to also want to violate that religious freedom. I just find that it's just reprehensible and it's unlawful. And we've won, you know, in the one court that we've had that the court's decided, we've been able to prevail on that argument.
