I think we have found some common ground. I hear that any frivolous lawsuit is one too many, so I just want to remind the gentleman that maybe one of the most prolific frivolous litigators in history is in the White House right now. I remind the gentleman about the raft of frivolous lawsuits challenging the 2020 election results, resulting, in many cases, not just in losses in court but in the disbarment of some of the Republican luminary lawyers like Rudy Giuliani. If we pretend to care about frivolous lawsuits, I know consistency is out of fashion these days, but we should really mean it. Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
