Even though the opinion had shaped parts of foreign policy for over a decade, the OLC never published it, and no one outside the federal government knew what the opinion said until the Times obtained it in 2022. assistance to the International Criminal Court was informing the Biden administration’s response to atrocities in Ukraine. This knowledge gap isn’t unique to that area of law.Īs another example, last April, the New York Times’ Charlie Savage reported that a 2010 OLC opinion on U.S.
None of these opinions, though, have been publicly released. Thanks to a public records request brought by Talking Points Memo, what we do know is that the OLC has some relevant advice dating back to the Obama administration. One might naturally want to know what the Office of Legal Counsel, the so-called “ Supreme Court of the executive branch,” has to say about this legal theory. As the debt ceiling crisis looms, legal scholars (and reportedly the White House) are once again considering whether the president can invoke the Fourteenth Amendment to raise the borrowing limit singlehandedly. Hopefully, they’ll be in the next book (anyone know when this comes out?) and I can’t wait to see what happens.A secretive office within the executive branch has just taken an incremental but important step toward transparency on legal decisions that affect not only Americans, but also people around the world. Josh and Dash are the coolest guys ever and I was definitely disappointed that they weren’t in PL that much. There’s such a unique cast of characters and the plots are usually so ridiculous they rock. (Reed thinks somebody is stalking, everyone tells her she’s silly, then the book ends with some big disaster that proves she was right.) I’ll be honest – they aren’t the most well-written books and don’t have the best character development but I just get sucked right in every time.
My only complaint is that they’ve started getting repetitive. Many people (teens) said they loved the series but then the adults chimed in and said they hated them due to certain subjects approached in the books. One of my earlier reviews was for the second book in the series and I got a ton of mixed responses to that. I read it as soon as I opened it and finished it before bed.Īnyway, I was just curious to see what everyone’s views on the Private series were. Guess what I got in the mail yesterday?! Paradise Lost by Kate Brian!
