It's a landmark ruling even without me reading the story.. I think it's a bunch of BS.. If the president's office doesn't save the email no one is going to get penalized.. It's a bunch of nonsense.

Corruption keeps reaching new levels in politics. Freaking pathetic that we had to have a court order to attempt to make the Prez follow the rules. He'll have to open his own free email account on hotmail to get the real emails now I guess and not have to save them :P
