It even goes so far as to try an rewrite the CAL seniority list pre-sli to suit their own argument better - good luck with that!

CALs-

Clear, direct stated fact with a clear goal based on fair and equitable reasoning and charted performance, whereas the ual side contradicted itself saying it would not get into specific derivations but the sinks to a level of argumentative by assuming CAL positions and arguing them out in the opening statement.
