The MoJo Blog examined the rulings in the cases against the White House over missing emails and the steps the Bush administration is supposed to be taking to preserve its emails.   CREW's Anne Weismann interprets the latest court actions to mean that the judge doesn't think the orders to preserve the emails have gone far enough:

Facciola's ruling indicates that he takes the plaintiffs' concerns seriously and understands that time is of the essence, since every day that goes by makes it increasingly likely that potentially recoverable email data will be permanently lost. If Facciola does order copies made, it will mean that "while the clock is ticking [the emails] are not going to disappear," explains Meredith Fuchs, the NSA's General Counsel.

There is already a court order that asks the administration to preserve emails, but it's now "pretty clear that the court seems concerned that in fact the original preservation order doesn't go far enough," Anne Weismann, CREW's Chief Counsel, told me this afternoon.
