I might as well get it out of the way now, as I’ll be on the way to Maui Saturday. Not like I’ll watch the game anyway, as that’ll be a +30 point beat down UT will inflict. If you’re going, savor the smack down - could be a record margin

Still waiting on the NCAA but if I was Sabes I’d just let them know we were moving forward unless they give us a reason to stop.

How are you and your place on the lake down there ? Heard a report of lots of damage including boats being sank from severe weather. Prayers for you and all in thearea of the bad weather. Hunker down bud and stay safe .

One down, one to go

Since the board has entered winter hibernation any HS ‘portal’ activity? 😊

gator... comments?

According to Mike Davis, President of the Article III Project and a former law clerk under Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch, the president of the United States can declassify records by simply leaving the White House with them.

“The President of the United States has both the constitutional (and statutory) power to declassify anything he wants,” Davis wrote on Twitter on Aug. 11. “If President Trump left the White House with classified records, they are declassified by his actions.”

“As discussed, the Office of Former President Trump—like every other former president’s federal office—is equipped and secure enough to handle these declassified records,” Davis added. “This is a routine dispute with bureaucrats at the National Archives whether these are presidential records.”

Davis cited Department of Navy v. Egan (ruling), a 1988 Supreme Court decision that Davis says shows the president possesses the constitutional power to “classify and declassify” records “regardless of any statute passed by Congress.”

“The President, after all, is the ‘Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States,'” The Supreme Court ruled at the time. “His authority to classify and control access to information bearing on national security and to determine whether an individual is sufficiently trustworthy to occupy a position in the Executive Branch that will give that person access to such information flows primarily from this constitutional investment of power in the President and exists quite apart from any explicit congressional grant.”

“When President Trump had the records sent to Mar-a-Lago, they were declassified,” Davis explained. “Former presidents don’t have this power. But Trump did this as the president.”
