[Dr. Ursus]

Mash notes to Barney Frank?

[scooter2]

To me that says that he’s not very proud of his record and does not want his papers examined while he’s still alive.

[Buckeye McFrog]

...does it remind you perhaps of that episode of Seinfeld where George burned his fiancee’s father’s cabin down?

[Pontiac]

Who’ll be around by then who knew him?

I am pretty sure that is the point

Souter does not want people that knew him commenting on his thinking and he does not want people who knew him harmed by what is in his papers.

[Nonstatist]

Who’ll be around by then who knew him?

Who is around now that knows him?

[robert561]

He was a turn coat, a Bush41 man who might as well have been appointed by Clinton or Obama. Screw him.

[BenLurkin]

Perhaps his grandchildren will find it of interest.

Oh wait......

[matginzac]

Can we send Sandy Burglar in the archives to pull a heist???? I can’t wait 50 yrs - at least, not if Obamstercare is in effect....

[a fool in paradise]

Now, he doesn’t want scholars prying into his papers for 50 years. Who’ll be around by then who knew him?

Isn't the same true of the JFK White House tapes?

We are approaching the date but the tapes may oxidize or "disappear" by then.
