What BBN said about it

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorMeanwhile, immigration, climate and guns are all headed to the Supreme Court this term. Joining me is Octavia Brzezinski-Lund, who says she saw it coming.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorOctavia, will the court side with the president?
Octavia Brzezinski-LundVera, I predicted this exactly. As I wrote on page twelve, the court will rule decisively in the president's favor.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorWonderful. So that is a yes on the immigration policies, then.
Octavia Brzezinski-LundYes, and also no. As I wrote on page forty, the court will firmly reject them. The book is very thorough.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorBoth?
Octavia Brzezinski-LundBoth. As I wrote on page two hundred six, a split decision is also possible, which I called a strong yes with reservations.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo you predicted a win, a loss and a split. Let me ask you again: what happens with the climate lawsuit against the energy companies?
Octavia Brzezinski-LundThe companies will win and lose. As I wrote on page three hundred ninety, the second edition covers a tie, and it ships in spring.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThere is a second edition for a tie. You are the only forecaster whose book has a refund policy built into the plot.
Octavia Brzezinski-LundThank you. And as I wrote on page four hundred eleven, the guns case will be decided by whoever reads it last.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorFine, one last easy one. Will my sandwich arrive in the next five minutes?
Octavia Brzezinski-LundAs I wrote on page five hundred, it arrives and does not arrive. Order the soup.
