If this sounds familiar:
“We advised that, although the text of section 6103(f) does not require the Committee to state any purpose for its request, Congress could not constitutionally confer upon itself the right to compel a disclosure by the Executive Branch of confidential information that does not serve a legitimate legislative purpose,” the opinion argued.
It's because it's the same argument two trial courts have already heard and rejected. (They repeated a variant in their appellate brief. Call it theme and variations in the key of derp.) The only change is, now they're making the DOJ use it.
They've got nothin', but they're not admitting that explicitly. These records are coming loose, one way or the other.
