Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

      Maybe, among other things we'll decide if we survive the Trump fiasco, is that POTUS shouldn't have unfettered authority to decide what is classified or not. https://twitter.com/Carter_PE/status/931525517915967488 …

      Has Navy v. Egan even been challenged properly? Not unsurprisingly, that was a key issue in the Plame leak too.

      I think closest challenge to Egan has come in context of Constitutional challenges to security clearance denials. Defer to @MarkSZaidEsq + @BradMossEsq expertise/experience.

      People have tried but it never goes anywhere. SCOTUS refuses to take up the case again. Won’t change unless Congress revises CSRA

      That's in context of clearances exclusively, right? It almost seemed like it was going to be litigated in the al-Haramain case, over whether NDCA could order govt to share stuff w/plaintiffs.

      You mean Constitutional right of court to order sharing of classified info?

      Replying to @BradMossEsq @Carter_PE and

      NDCA had the Stellar Wind log showing al-Haramain targeted w/CSO (so in their possession). Q was whether plaintiffs' lawyers could see it. Govt argued no need to know. Walker found other way to do it, but there was moment it seemed he'd say it was his discretion.

          I'm well aware of the De Sousa ones. Will check out Stillman.
