From the ruling in : Judicial Watch v. National Archives and Records Administration 2012:
“the President enjoys unconstrained authority to make decisions regarding the disposal of documents: ‘[a]lthough the President must notify the Archivist before disposing of records . . . neither the Archivist nor Congress has the authority to veto the President’s disposal decision.’”
Amy Berman Jackson in her ruling
this was the Clinton “Sock Drawer case” that a lot of you likely don’t remember, but Chris Farrell, Director of Investigations at Judicial Watch does remarking:
“And that has been the standing law unchallenged for the United States for something like 10 or 11 years,” said Farrell. “No one challenged it – unreviewable absolute authority to take whatever [the president] wants and no one can second guess it.”
I suspect when Judge Aileen M. Cannon takes a look at this I suspect she will not only toss out this case, but do so with prejudice.



One hopes, but one never knows these days.
