WEBVTT - Affirmative Action Not on Trial in Harvard Case

0:00:03.480 --> 0:00:07.560
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the Bloomberg Law Podcast. I'm June Grosso. Every

0:00:07.640 --> 0:00:10.440
<v Speaker 1>day we bring you insight and analysis into the most

0:00:10.480 --> 0:00:13.399
<v Speaker 1>important legal news of the day. You can find more

0:00:13.480 --> 0:00:18.040
<v Speaker 1>episodes of the Bloomberg Law Podcast on Apple Podcasts, SoundCloud

0:00:18.320 --> 0:00:22.799
<v Speaker 1>and on Bloomberg dot com Slash podcasts. Harvard University is

0:00:22.800 --> 0:00:26.000
<v Speaker 1>in a Boston federal court defending itself against claims of

0:00:26.120 --> 0:00:30.480
<v Speaker 1>racial bias in admitting Asian American students. Speaking with Bloomberg

0:00:30.520 --> 0:00:34.280
<v Speaker 1>and Ivy, founder of Ivy Consulting, explained the importance of

0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:38.559
<v Speaker 1>the case. Affirmative action has been upheld as latest two

0:00:38.600 --> 0:00:41.560
<v Speaker 1>thousand and sixteen, but that was when Justice Kennedy was

0:00:41.600 --> 0:00:44.040
<v Speaker 1>still the swing vote, and of course he's been replaced

0:00:44.080 --> 0:00:47.599
<v Speaker 1>by Justice Kavanaugh, so the admissions landscape could look very

0:00:47.680 --> 0:00:50.479
<v Speaker 1>different depending on how this case turns out. Joining me

0:00:50.520 --> 0:00:53.440
<v Speaker 1>is the Least Body professor at Rutgers University Law School

0:00:53.440 --> 0:00:57.640
<v Speaker 1>and founder and executive director of the Inclusion Project at least.

0:00:57.640 --> 0:01:00.800
<v Speaker 1>The suit was brought by a group opposing affirmative action

0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:05.640
<v Speaker 1>called Students for Fair Admissions. Explain their claims about Harvard

0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:12.440
<v Speaker 1>engaging in racial balancing of Asian Americans well. Their claim

0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:15.679
<v Speaker 1>is that Harvard sets a cap on the number of

0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:21.800
<v Speaker 1>Asian Americans who are admitted to the university. UM. That

0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:24.000
<v Speaker 1>claim is going to have to be sorted out by

0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:29.360
<v Speaker 1>the District Court. We know that Asian Americans have been

0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:34.160
<v Speaker 1>admitted UM an increasing percentage number of Asian Americans have

0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:38.840
<v Speaker 1>been admitted over the last eight years or so. Two

0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:45.000
<v Speaker 1>they're now of the admitted class UM. So their their

0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:49.000
<v Speaker 1>claim is that, uh, there's a limit that has been

0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:54.480
<v Speaker 1>set UM. If that is in fact true, that is unlawful.

0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:56.600
<v Speaker 1>And as I said, the district cord is going to

0:01:56.640 --> 0:01:59.880
<v Speaker 1>have to sort that out. But I think it's important

0:01:59.880 --> 0:02:03.280
<v Speaker 1>to understand what this case is really about and the

0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:08.760
<v Speaker 1>significance of the case. Uh. What the plainists are arguing

0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:12.840
<v Speaker 1>for is for colleges essentially around the country of this

0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:14.840
<v Speaker 1>case cost of the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court

0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:18.440
<v Speaker 1>where to strike down affirmative action. Their claim that that

0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:22.200
<v Speaker 1>colleges around the country should not be able to consider

0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:27.160
<v Speaker 1>race and they not. They should also not, uh the

0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:30.400
<v Speaker 1>they should not have a process in which admissions officers

0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:34.640
<v Speaker 1>are aware of or can even learn the race or

0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:39.480
<v Speaker 1>ethnicity of a particular applicant. So this is a very

0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:44.720
<v Speaker 1>extreme case. It goes against settled law. But the goal

0:02:44.800 --> 0:02:48.079
<v Speaker 1>here is clearly to overturn that law. And let's put

0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:51.000
<v Speaker 1>the suit into even a little more context. Affirmative action

0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:55.120
<v Speaker 1>has been under assault, it seems like since it first began,

0:02:55.280 --> 0:02:58.840
<v Speaker 1>and it's often on the verge of being affirmed by

0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:01.400
<v Speaker 1>the Supreme Court by a slight vote. As we know

0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:05.000
<v Speaker 1>that Justice Kenny was the swing vote. So you put

0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:08.560
<v Speaker 1>it into context of the various cases at the Supreme

0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:13.720
<v Speaker 1>Court on affirmative action. Sure so, Um, we can start

0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:18.359
<v Speaker 1>by looking at the case the Bockey decision, which essentially

0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:21.400
<v Speaker 1>held that quote as the use of quotas and admissions

0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:26.200
<v Speaker 1>is unconstitutional. Um by Justice Powell, who was who was

0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:29.640
<v Speaker 1>sort of the Justice Kennedy of his day, concluded that

0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:32.880
<v Speaker 1>race could be considered as one of many different factors

0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:36.040
<v Speaker 1>in the comprehensive admissions process, and he pointed to Harvard

0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:41.040
<v Speaker 1>as the model for how such an admissions process could

0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:46.120
<v Speaker 1>be implemented. Um. Twenty five years later, the Court in

0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:51.800
<v Speaker 1>two thousand three upheld again the use of race in

0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:55.440
<v Speaker 1>admissions as one of many different factors. That was a

0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:59.920
<v Speaker 1>caste called Rooter versus Bollinger Um. In two thousand sixteen,

0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:05.600
<v Speaker 1>the Court again in Fisher Um concluded that diversity student

0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:10.880
<v Speaker 1>diversity UH was an important constitutional value. Um. It it's

0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:14.800
<v Speaker 1>held uh it hap held the challenge against the University

0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:19.640
<v Speaker 1>of Texas. UM. So we have a pre significant body

0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:23.599
<v Speaker 1>of law in which the Court has found on different

0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:29.360
<v Speaker 1>occasions that uh, the educational benefits of student diversity are

0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:33.760
<v Speaker 1>constitutionally compelling. There is another aspect to that, which is

0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:38.520
<v Speaker 1>he has to make sure that it's being constitutionally implemented. UM.

0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:40.640
<v Speaker 1>But what this case is seeking to do is essentially

0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:43.200
<v Speaker 1>to say that you can't use any race at all

0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:47.719
<v Speaker 1>in any context. UM. You've said that the plaintiffs are

0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:50.880
<v Speaker 1>going back to the basics ensuing Harvard. What do you

0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:54.440
<v Speaker 1>mean by that? Well, as I as I mentioned a

0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:59.960
<v Speaker 1>moment ago Um, the Harvard admissions process was cited by

0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:01.920
<v Speaker 1>just As Powell back in the nineteen of the eight

0:05:01.960 --> 0:05:06.440
<v Speaker 1>Bockey decision as the model example of how race could

0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:13.839
<v Speaker 1>be constitutionally used, and so in in suing Harvard, UM, essentially,

0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:18.000
<v Speaker 1>the plaintiffs are are pointing to our are trying to

0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:22.640
<v Speaker 1>overturn a plan that has been cited in various contexts

0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:26.719
<v Speaker 1>by the Court as being as being a model plan. UM.

0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:32.280
<v Speaker 1>Harvard also is going to attract a lot of attention.

0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:34.840
<v Speaker 1>Harvard is defended in a case is going to attract

0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:38.640
<v Speaker 1>a lot of attention, UM, because it does set the

0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:41.560
<v Speaker 1>standard for how admissions is done. And so by suing

0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:46.040
<v Speaker 1>Harvard UM, the plainests are going after a very big fish.

0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:49.159
<v Speaker 1>And we also have the danger that UH if the

0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:54.440
<v Speaker 1>Harvard UM case UH is successful, that it could have

0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:58.159
<v Speaker 1>an enormous chilling effect around the country UH in university

0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:02.159
<v Speaker 1>admissions in terms of the consideration of race UM. And

0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:07.400
<v Speaker 1>so it's it's a very deliberate effort UH by this outfit,

0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:11.599
<v Speaker 1>which is run by um Ed Bloom, who is responsible

0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:15.279
<v Speaker 1>for the earlier challenges against the University of Texas that

0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:20.279
<v Speaker 1>I mentioned. He's also someone who brought the case challenging

0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:25.280
<v Speaker 1>the voting rights back that gutted protections from minority voters. UM.

0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:28.840
<v Speaker 1>This is not a person who cares about creating opportunities

0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:33.360
<v Speaker 1>for people of color around the country. The Justice Department's

0:06:33.400 --> 0:06:38.320
<v Speaker 1>position has changed from the Obama administration to the Trump administration.

0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:46.240
<v Speaker 1>What effect does the Justice Department have in this area? UM,

0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:49.359
<v Speaker 1>Sorry I didn't hear. I didn't under the question. The

0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:52.320
<v Speaker 1>Justice Department has taken a position in this case that

0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:56.039
<v Speaker 1>is different from the position that the Obama administration took.

0:06:56.240 --> 0:06:59.320
<v Speaker 1>What effect does it have when the Justice Department weighs

0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:04.080
<v Speaker 1>in that way? Oh? Sure so, UM. The the Justice

0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:12.680
<v Speaker 1>Department rescinded certain UM regulations that UH that UH laid

0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:17.560
<v Speaker 1>out how race could be constitutionally considered. The Justice Department

0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:19.800
<v Speaker 1>does not have the power to change the law. The

0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:24.240
<v Speaker 1>law is established by the U. S. Supreme Court. UM.

0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:26.400
<v Speaker 1>Of course, it does have the chilling effect when the

0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:29.960
<v Speaker 1>United States Justice Department weighs in UM in ways that

0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:35.000
<v Speaker 1>are adverse to affirmative action UM. But the law as

0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:41.160
<v Speaker 1>it currently stands UH clearly indicates that UM, a comprehensive

0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:44.559
<v Speaker 1>admissions process that includes race of one of many different

0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:48.400
<v Speaker 1>factors is constitutional. And the question is, in that kind

0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:54.640
<v Speaker 1>of admissions process where admissions officers do look at so

0:07:54.760 --> 0:08:00.640
<v Speaker 1>many different aspects an applicants identity, should race UH also

0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:04.840
<v Speaker 1>be included. And we are in a context, We've been

0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:07.520
<v Speaker 1>listening to that context for four hundred years where race

0:08:07.640 --> 0:08:10.600
<v Speaker 1>is very much a reality. And so to say that

0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:14.400
<v Speaker 1>in that context you can't take a considerative consideration of race,

0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:16.360
<v Speaker 1>all right, at least we'll have to leave it there.

0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:18.360
<v Speaker 1>But the case will be going on and we'll keep

0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:22.480
<v Speaker 1>following it. Lease Body, professor at Rutgers University Law School.

0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:32.559
<v Speaker 1>In August, President Trump's lead attorney, Rudy Giuliani discussed the

0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:36.040
<v Speaker 1>Mueller investigation on Fox News, talking about how it would

0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:38.679
<v Speaker 1>play in the mid terms. Well, I think if it

0:08:38.720 --> 0:08:40.920
<v Speaker 1>isn't over by September, then then we have a very

0:08:41.040 --> 0:08:45.520
<v Speaker 1>very serious um violation of the Just Department rules that

0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:48.840
<v Speaker 1>you shouldn't be conducting one of these investigations, uh in

0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:52.160
<v Speaker 1>the sixty day period. Now it's mid October, there are

0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:54.400
<v Speaker 1>just three weeks until the mid terms, and the Mueller

0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:58.480
<v Speaker 1>investigation is still going strong. Joining me is William Banks,

0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:03.600
<v Speaker 1>professor at Syracuse Universe State Law School. Bill Rudy Giuliani

0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:06.600
<v Speaker 1>predicted the end of the Muller investigation or threatened about

0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:09.880
<v Speaker 1>it time and time again. But Paul Maniford is now

0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:13.920
<v Speaker 1>cooperating with Mueller. Is that an indication that the investigation

0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:18.120
<v Speaker 1>is not coming to a conclusion anytime soon? I think

0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:21.120
<v Speaker 1>it's sure is you know mr has made a number

0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:25.040
<v Speaker 1>of claims and predictions that haven't turned out to be true.

0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:29.439
<v Speaker 1>There are no Justice Department rules that limit the investigation,

0:09:29.520 --> 0:09:32.800
<v Speaker 1>and the tendency of an election, and as we've discussed

0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:36.960
<v Speaker 1>many times, Mr Muller is simply going about his business

0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:41.400
<v Speaker 1>UH day by day and UH indictment by indictment and

0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:45.760
<v Speaker 1>letting the letting the facts and law lead them to

0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:48.720
<v Speaker 1>where they need to go. They have manifort to work

0:09:48.720 --> 0:09:52.959
<v Speaker 1>with here, and they're still awaiting sentencing and outcome on

0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:56.240
<v Speaker 1>some of the other indictments have been brought between the

0:09:56.320 --> 0:10:01.040
<v Speaker 1>Russians and others. According to Political Trump slam the Mueller

0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:05.199
<v Speaker 1>quote witch hunt on Twitter nearly fifty times since July fourth.

0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:09.080
<v Speaker 1>He manages is campaign rallies, Yet it seems to be

0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:13.400
<v Speaker 1>something that both Republicans and Democrats are avoiding talking about

0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:16.880
<v Speaker 1>as the campaign for the mid terms. Why that's seeming

0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:21.560
<v Speaker 1>disconnect Well, I think you know, there's a it's a

0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:26.480
<v Speaker 1>relatively quiet time now. The investigation, the Mueller's team is

0:10:27.160 --> 0:10:29.560
<v Speaker 1>is working to see what they can get from Manaford

0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:33.880
<v Speaker 1>and others to building case either on the instruction of

0:10:33.960 --> 0:10:39.240
<v Speaker 1>justice or on the conspiracy colusion side of things. And

0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:41.760
<v Speaker 1>there's simply not much to talk about. And obviously we've

0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:45.040
<v Speaker 1>had plenty of other things to talk about concerning partisan

0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:48.720
<v Speaker 1>politics with having on the nation and lots of other

0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:53.200
<v Speaker 1>issues pending the election. But this this thing is simply

0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:56.040
<v Speaker 1>going on. It has its own momentum, uh, and it's

0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:59.320
<v Speaker 1>not dependent on November six or any other magic date.

0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:02.200
<v Speaker 1>One thing that there is to talk about is that

0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:06.680
<v Speaker 1>CNN's reporting that Trump's lawyers are providing in the process

0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:09.959
<v Speaker 1>of providing written answers to a first round of questions

0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:14.720
<v Speaker 1>and several questions about potential collusion. How does it advance

0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:20.120
<v Speaker 1>Mueller's investigation to have written answers drafted by Trump's attorneys,

0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:24.360
<v Speaker 1>Probably not very much. Uh. You know, this is a

0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:27.360
<v Speaker 1>game that the president's lawyers have been playing with the

0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:33.080
<v Speaker 1>Mueller team from the beginning. The personalities of changed, the

0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:37.120
<v Speaker 1>presidents brought in new lawyers, and some lawyers have left.

0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:40.200
<v Speaker 1>There's now, you know, the White House counsels on his

0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:43.760
<v Speaker 1>way out and the presidents interviewing replacements for Don McGahn,

0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:47.480
<v Speaker 1>which I think we'll see yet more dynamics and uh

0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:52.000
<v Speaker 1>in the in the effort to either respond to or

0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:55.600
<v Speaker 1>not respond to Mueller's request for an interview of Trump.

0:11:55.960 --> 0:11:59.199
<v Speaker 1>This is going to primarily go to the possibility of

0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:03.920
<v Speaker 1>obstruction determinations, of course, but it could be important for

0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:07.320
<v Speaker 1>other aspects of the investigation as well. Turning out to

0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:10.640
<v Speaker 1>the White House Counsel's office, we know that Council Don

0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:14.000
<v Speaker 1>McGann is leaving his position, and he was regarded by

0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:18.000
<v Speaker 1>some as a restraining influence on Trump. The Washington Post

0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:22.440
<v Speaker 1>is reporting that Trump has chosen a conservative Catholic activists

0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:25.959
<v Speaker 1>and Washington lawyer Pat Chipoloney as his next White House

0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:30.400
<v Speaker 1>Council He's already been advising the president's personal lawyers on

0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:35.600
<v Speaker 1>Trump reportedly, what will this change mean in the approach

0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:40.640
<v Speaker 1>to Mueller. Well, I don't know much about Shibloney, but

0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:43.880
<v Speaker 1>I believe that it's going to, you know, play to

0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:48.040
<v Speaker 1>the sort of the hardball side of of dealing with

0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:51.440
<v Speaker 1>the Muller team. I think he'll be pretty tough and

0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:56.920
<v Speaker 1>pretty uh unwilling to cooperate and even to compromise on

0:12:57.040 --> 0:13:01.000
<v Speaker 1>providing materials to the investigators. I think at the same time,

0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:04.160
<v Speaker 1>we have to remember that the White House Council's job

0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:08.600
<v Speaker 1>involves much more than just dealing with the single investigation.

0:13:08.840 --> 0:13:12.960
<v Speaker 1>Mcgon had a very signal role in getting the Kavanaugh

0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:18.800
<v Speaker 1>nomination through the Senate ultimately, and then his legacy, of course,

0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:22.520
<v Speaker 1>in lining up lower court judges that's probably been the

0:13:22.559 --> 0:13:26.520
<v Speaker 1>president's single most important accomplishments so far. Off to see

0:13:26.520 --> 0:13:31.040
<v Speaker 1>whether the tip alone can do as well or whether

0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:33.880
<v Speaker 1>there's someone else in the team that will take over

0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:37.640
<v Speaker 1>that responsibility. Speaking and in the list of we'll have

0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:42.040
<v Speaker 1>to see. Most observers think that we'll see Trump firing

0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:45.840
<v Speaker 1>a G. Jeff Sessions after the mid terms, and the

0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:49.840
<v Speaker 1>Washington Post reported that Trump had talked to sessions chief

0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:53.680
<v Speaker 1>of staff Matt Whittaker about the job, and Trump hasn't

0:13:53.679 --> 0:14:01.079
<v Speaker 1>denied that Whittaker has a conservative record and path explain

0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:06.200
<v Speaker 1>what that might be. Well, you know, he's he's going

0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:08.920
<v Speaker 1>to replace Sessions. If he does, he's going to replace

0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:12.680
<v Speaker 1>him with someone conservative, to be sure, and looking for

0:14:12.800 --> 0:14:16.320
<v Speaker 1>someone with a lower profile, as would be the case here,

0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:20.000
<v Speaker 1>might serve his interest in uh, you know, not paying

0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:23.920
<v Speaker 1>much attention to the uh, the office of the Attorney General,

0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:29.120
<v Speaker 1>perhaps going beyond the Attorney General to try to interfere

0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:35.240
<v Speaker 1>again and investigation uh and dismissing Mueller. We'll see if

0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:37.400
<v Speaker 1>that might happen. It depends, of course, on what the

0:14:37.400 --> 0:14:40.040
<v Speaker 1>next steps are in the Mueller team. It's sort of

0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:43.600
<v Speaker 1>a cat and mouse game. And Bill just a quickly

0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:47.360
<v Speaker 1>here Whittaker. Would he have to be have a confirmation

0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:49.680
<v Speaker 1>hearing or is he already confirmed by the Senate and

0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:52.280
<v Speaker 1>so could just slide in there? No, he'd have to

0:14:52.320 --> 0:14:55.920
<v Speaker 1>be confirmed separately for this post. Okay, thanks so much
