      Here's a story I wrote on the day of KBJ's nomination to the Supreme Court about her work on behalf of Gitmo detainees and others challenging Bush-era detention policies, along with more standard public defender work. nytimes.com/2022/02/26/us/politics/ketanji-brown-jackson-supreme-court.html

        I surfaced that it was DeRosa, Preston, Johnson & Crawford who blessed the Bin Laden raid (so secret even AG Holder wasn't told until late), & the legal challenges they decided could be overcome in my book Power Wars, from which this NYT article derives: nytimes.com/2015/10/29/us/politics/obama-legal-authorization-osama-bin-laden-raid.html
