        Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

        -Frank Wilhoit

        Bonus:

        The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread.

        -Anatole France

DOJ has produced all responsive documents and will appeal this decision with confidence.”

    Sullivan’s order, however, did not order the release of survivors’ names, only to justify certain redactions, produce any additional records supporting them and publish the redaction log as required by law.
