* J.D. Candidate at St. Mary's University School of Law, May 2022. B.A. University of
Houston, 2017. It is difficult to name everyone who has helped this piece come into fruition, but
I am grateful and thankful for every single person who has helped in one form or another.
First and foremost, I'd like to thank my family, and my parents in particular, for their constant
guidance, love, and unwavering support despite any difference in opinion.
To my friends and colleagues who served as interlocutors while I was writing this piece.
Thank you for listening and challenging me with questions and philosophies to consider.
To my lovely fiance Dan who was always by my side willing to lend an ear and listen to me
mull over ideas. Thank you for your kindness, your honesty, and your patience with me while
I wrote this piece.
Finally, I must thank Volume 23 of The Scholar for encouraging me in this endeavor and
Volume 24's board for their assistance and meticulous attention to detail in editing this piece.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you all for your help in turning this piece into its
final form.
I wrote this piece to inspire others to always question the motivations and legitimacy of our
laws, to research unfamiliar issues in search for truth, to stand by their convictions, and to continue
fighting for what they believe in.
