Thanks, Eric.

Very quickly, this is to Mr. Shields' point, and I would direct this to our Department of Justice folks.

Does the language that precedes the reference to it here matter? I'm talking specifically about the words “guided by”.

Can you provide the legal explanation as to whether or not the fact that the language is preceded by “guided by” would therefore soften perhaps some of the concerns that my colleagues have raised?
