i drive columbia pike all the time. you don't need a street car line down there. i hear what you're saying. this case it sounds like fta helped block a bad project, but it was -- the reason why arlington county, you know, wanted to go ahead with the project is because they would have got some federal funding. you see that all the time. another example, in arlington, they have a project to build a bunch of new bus shelters down columbia pike again and there is an infamous million dollar bus stop on columbia pike that they built which was a huge boondoggle. they wouldn't have built that if they hadn't got the federal money for it. i think in a lot of cases, federal money distorts state and local decision-making and makes them go for projects that really aren't worth the, you know, the value if you look at a cost benefit analysis. i think by cutting the federal funding, you would get local governments making more sensible decisions on transit. as a general point, i don't know if robert disagrees with me on this one, federal funding has incentivized too many states an

the district of columbia tried to get around that in various ways and failed. that only applied to federal enclave because the district columbia, after all, is not a state. the second case which was in some ways even more important was the mcdonald case. you know, i'm sure some folks here, when you go to loss rule and you read an appellate case and you don't really know what the hell it's about, i sort of got really interested in that kind of thing several years ago, and it was part of her book where she wrote an article about us case that struck down the nra during the depression. you would think this was this huge deal if you read in the appellate case, and then you find out it's about three orthodox pushers butchers in new york that says it can allow customers to pick out their chicken. gives you a whole different perspective on what is this really about, to sort of humanizing the mcdonald case which, in a legal sense was about whether the second amendment rights should be incorporated so that it would apply to the states as well as the federal government, b
