@emptywheel@Krhawkins5 I have to be careful about parsing legal arguments bc I have 0 expertise. However. DoD *can* turn 'dial' btwn 10&50. -
@emptywheel@Krhawkins5 it's less of a politically expedient button, more of a dial. Lots of 50 and some 10, or vice versa. That's T60! -
@robertcaruso That perhaps does not make for convincing OLC memos.@Krhawkins5 -
@emptywheel@Krhawkins5 in my JS post, I go into T22 authorities as well which are similarly expansive. I want it up by Wed but we'll see.
