@benjaminwittes Ah, that wasn't clear from your writing. Cordero does though. -
@emptywheel Yes, I think Carrie feels strongly about it. I am agnostic about the program's utility. Not offended by it, but not hung ho... -
@benjaminwittes Ah, sorry. But then cannot Obama just stop requesting it? No Congress needed! -
@emptywheel Yes, Obama can end with a wave of his hand. He can't, however, implement Review Group reccs without act of congress, though. -
@benjaminwittes Not all of them. Many of the most important, tho. -
@emptywheel Sorry, I meant that only with respect to the reform of the 215 bulk metadata program. many of the reccs he can implement on own. -
@benjaminwittes I don't think he needs Congress if he's willing to give up equiv of bulk collection. If a third party holds, then yess - 7 more replies
