FBI agents load the back of a minivan at the Rayburn House Office Building 'horseshoe' entrance on Capitol Hill in Washington after continuing their of the offices of Rep. William Jefferson, D-La., in the May 21, 2006 file photo. Prosecutors and investigators building a bribery case against Jefferson have been unable to examine the documents and computer files seized in the search of Capitol Hill office. The materials were placed off limits for 45 days by President Bush, who decreed a cooling-off period after congressional leaders denounced the May 20-21 search as an unprecedented and unconstitutional intrusion on their turf by federal agents.

The fact that the "cooling-off" period put the issue 1 1/2 months closer to the fall elections is purely coincidental.....hehehehe!
Good for Judge Hogan, at least there's one judge who gets it.
BTTT
Now we have precedent.
Encore ! Encore!
If I am not mistaken, the judge was present the whole time to ensure the propriety of the execution of his signed order.
The decision was thus a foregone conclusion.
