@tweetsintheME I know that part of US person definitions is redacted in versions I get to see. -
@emptywheel who did the redactions? -
@tweetsintheME I'm talking official releases of things like AGG Guidelines, USSID 18, etc. -
@emptywheel ah, ok, got it. -
@tweetsintheME It's one of my pet redactions. One day I shall vanquish it.

@emptywheel justice is a "real thing"; there are people, processes, etc. a basic division is matters of law vs. matters of fact.First,facts -
@emptywheel an agency relationship, client rel. would be matters of fact. Law is labyrenthine. -
@doubledeckerpot But this is never going to get closer to a courtroom than NSA's OGC. -
@emptywheel Right. I would hope that Obama might say "outside Nat.Sec., client-attny. eavesdropping is beyond the pale." Yes we can?

@emptywheel Normally, sovereigns aren't called clients. sovereigns can enter contracts. In a dispute, a Tribunal must have jurisdiction. -
@emptywheel Without a dispute/case, there can be no "meaningful" legally decisions/verdicts ...
