If I remember right, that is the right method to do it. The discharge petition was brought in a way that was, in my view, just a little bit haphazard. Okay. They didn't have lawyers drafted. I don't think they used the Legislative Council to do it. And so there are some things that are erroneous in the legislation. For example, they say they Want to protect child sex abuse victims, but they cite the wrong federal code article, so it makes it unworkable. (10:42–10:47)
