The Blog of the Legal Times has this on a request from a historian to United States District Court for the District of Columbia Chief Judge Royce Lamberth to unseal illegal wiretaps relating to Watergate. The Department of Justice has asked for two more weeks to frame a response. Hopefully, they'll figure out a way to bless the unsealing of these records.
