LB: Since the, since your Supreme Court decision, how does it feel to be associated with one of the most significant cases ever decided in this country, and how does it feel to be such a public figure right now?

FK: Well, I don't feel anything special. I feel that a wrong has righted, and that I'm involved. To have this, you know, not happen again, for educational purposes, I just continue on. And if I can make an appearance in class in so forth, and let the students know what happened, so this won't ever happen to them or others, it's worthwhile doing. So that's what I've been... did I answer that question right?

LB: How does it feel to have every lawyer in the country be able to recognize your name?

FK: Well, that's just like something come, some folks that has a certain name and has just come out. I don't have anything special feeling for it. I didn't make any money off of it. [Laughs] But no, I mean, it's good that it helped the constitutional law, that the government cannot violate the law and, to have this happen. And it should never happen again. So that's good that it's in the law books, and that every attorney should know about it. So that this won't ever happen again to any, any other minority.
