Interesting gopiscrap Aug 2013 #1
I think I'll need some of this: Hydra Aug 2013 #2
Um no--the DOJ agreed to release and declined to appeal the court order, asking only msanthrope Aug 2013 #8
What do you mean, "Um, no"? Hydra Aug 2013 #10
Yes--in fact if you read the document I linked to, the decision was made to withdraw msanthrope Aug 2013 #13
I'm still not getting your point Hydra Aug 2013 #17
The Obama administration could have continued this fight by appealing--they chose to withraw, msanthrope Aug 2013 #18
Then you didn't make a point Hydra Aug 2013 #20

Yes the judge has helped. But the news back in June was telling a different story Paulie Aug 2013 #24
Again...that fits in with Walton being the prime mover. Possibly also Wyden and Udall msanthrope Aug 2013 #25
Judges sometimes have a way of letting a party know that the game is up. JDPriestly Aug 2013 #33
An open "debate", that requires multiple lawsuits to get a rough idea of what is actually going on? Civilization2 Aug 2013 #3
