Did Tucker Carlson copy your laugh? Sad to say I've noticed similarities, but yours seems more authentic (granted, not a high bar), and I assume you wouldn't copy him?

OTOH, a well-timed scream on national live television could be a watershed moment in the manner of Howard Beale's "I'm mad as hell, and I'm not gonna take it anymore" cri de coeur. p.s. I am not implying you're anything like Chayefsky's character. Arguably, you're the antithesis.

In 2020, Katyal represented Nestlé and Cargill at the Supreme Court in Nestlé USA, Inc. v. Doe, a class-action suit brought by former enslaved children who were kidnapped and forced to work on cocoa farms in the Ivory Coast.[29][30] Katyal's argument was that Nestlé and Cargill should not be held liable under United States law for their use of child slave labor because international law does not apply to corporations. Katyal cited as an example that the company which supplied Zyklon B to the Nazis to kill Jews and other minorities in extermination camps was not indicted at the Nuremberg trials. Katyal was criticized by publications including The New Republic.[31][32] On February 12, 2025, Milbank announced that Katyal will be leading the appellate practice of their Washington D.C. office.[38] On April 2, 2025, President Donald J. Trump announced on Truth Social that Milbank had agreed to provide $100 million in pro bono legal services to causes supported by his administration and the law firm. The law firm also agreed to use a merit-based system and to not engage in “illegal D.E.I. discrimination.[39] In addition to Gorsuch, Katyal spoke highly of Trump's nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.[45] In multiple tweets that were cited by Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell in favor of Kavanaugh's confirmation,[46] Katyal praised Kavanaugh's
