L. A. Times covering the trials for the officers and the beating o. J. Dney king and then the simpson case. He always wrote with amazing speed and great pelicans. I got to know him in another capacity in the late 1990s when he was covering the charter reform process in los angeles as part of covering city government. I was chairing an elected commission in los angeles to revise the city charter. I saw not only was he amazingly talented but a reporter of incredible integrity. He believed the Los Angeles Times was not devoting enough to reform and quit his position in protest of this. He put his very job on the line because he believed in the importance of stories. Atthen as now was a star the times, and as a result, they gave tremendous attention to charter reform. I will always believe charter reform succeeded because of what jim newton did. A few years ago, he mentioned to me he was planning on taking time off to do a biography of earl warren. I thought it was a great idea, and that i

Justice and made please the court, the issues here are unprecedented in every sense. Before these cases, no court had ever upheld the courts use of subpoena powers to the records of a sitting president with a broad swath of the president s personal papers to the let alone purpose of the a potential legislation. There is a reason this is the first time a set has attempted such a gambit. Because, grist has subpoena power, it is subordinate and when that power is deployed against the president , it must yield absent any longstanding tradition or compelling showing of need. The committees consent is neither condition and that should decide this case. The committees contend the subpoenas satisfy the limits this court has always applied to congressional subpoenas. But the arguments would render meaningless but the arguments would render those limits meaningless. They claim congress can you subpoenas to uncover individual wrongdoing simply because that the always informed efficiency of existi

The District Court committed multiple fundamental errors in refusing to dismiss this suit and plaintiffs can i ask you to speak up just a little bit . Bring the microphone a little closer, if you can. And the plaintiffs are fundamentally mistaken in asserting that this court is powerless to correct any of those errors at this time. Now, we have identified two different paths through which this court can have mandamus relief. The Supreme Court made clear that separation of powers considerations are of utmost important when considering mandamus petitions involving the president of the United States. For example, the court quoted chief Justice Marshall to say that in no case would a court be required to proceed against the president as it would against a private individual. And moreover, the court said that the high respect that is due the office of the president must be considered throughout the entire proceeding. Now, what does that imply in this case . It implies the following. Their p
