and he's been aboard the new DOJ by all accounts since day 1. We keep forgetting about him. I'd like to think he's a strong part of the back-up Pres Obama & Holder are getting for some of the resolve to the increased transparancy, revising the FOIA process etc.

I posted links to a bunch of his writings in an older thread-- this one was in the context of the DOJ action in Jewell v NSA (I think-- the entire thread was moved and all I can find is my diaried post).

We need Dawn Johnsen and we can't let the GOPfascists win this one-- but we are already halfway home with a very good guy IMHO that the GOPhers can't touch.

To the GOPHers:
He's already there, he's working, he doesn't like a lot of things you did-- and you can't touch him or his advice. There's nothing to stop him from being promoted. Suck on that, Republicans.
