So for those of you who were here this morning, you heard me talk about how we've been doing this for first 35 years with Jim Goodale, and then for the next five years with Lee Bruce and myself.

LEE LEVINE: Welcome back, everyone, from break. This is the time in the proceedings where we traditionally take a look at what's going on specifically at the Supreme Court, and more generally, with respect to developments in First Amendment jurisprudence that overarch all of the other subjects we talk about for the rest of the conference starting now.
