I remember too...I was working at a job from 10-8PM...45 mins to and 45 mins from that job so it was really hard to keep up with it all. Yes, Rahm raced to reverse those EO’s...HA I believe it was too late, records were already accessed by whomever needed them. Once, BO was sworn in; it became illegal to access those records.
I remember the news story about the reversed EO’s, too. It caused impolite comments at the dinner table that night.
A question, though, why would W wait until the last minute to do this with the weekend obstacle? There is probably a good reason but I can’t think of one.
