rebecca: absolutely not. i think particularly around the issues around the attacks on the americans with disabilities act, one of the things we continue to hear, particularly in the legal field, is there is a roving band of disabled people doing what they call drive-by lawsuits, specifically driving by any business they find not acceptable and filing a lawsuit. what we have been able -- and this is a great opportunity for state engagement on an issue. what we have determined in doing the research is that there are only a small number of lawyers in a small number of states -- i believe 11 firms that have perpetuated thousands of lawsuits. this is a real opportunity for state engagement. the ada has in the law that state bar associations and the state courts can take action against lawyers perpetuating what they perceive as fraudulent lawsuits. but yet we are not seeing that. istead what we are seeing federal action across the board to try to decimate this. there definitely is an important role for states in hi

let me start, rebecca, with you. an extraordinary day in legal developments. your thoughts. >> there has been nothing in the manafort verdict involving russian collusion. tax evasion, issues that relate to paul manafort. personal choices in life. lou: this is politically driven. it is driven by the special counsel who had a mission that was very straightforward good collusion with russia. and this is the result. >> there was not even an allegation of collusion throughout the trial and the jury didn't make any decision based on that. the decisions were tax fraud and unfortunately paul manafort was found to be guilty to fraud in the government. lou: and christopher, extraordinarily the special counsel handing this case off. the remarkable thing it seems to me is that this is a special counsel going after the president's attorney and succeeding in getting what he wanted that is the foundation to further squeeze michael cohen and squeeze further paul manafort and judge ellis said precisely that, that the entire proceeding was about going after the president of the
