That's a fairer assessment. They sould have done it awhile ago. Like when the DCF got involved or when Congress served the subpoenas. Then it would have had less of an appearance of circumventing the courts.
I've always been uncomfortable with the phrase "circumventing the courts", it makes it sound they THEY are the absolute authority in this country.. and, at this point folks, I guess they are.. I'm beginning to think the title "President of the United States" carries about as much power as "Queen of England".
