The Edjurist's dear friends (Neal, Jeff & Karen) have a fascinating op ed. in the Chronicle of Higher Education today on the controversial request for university professor email and other documents by a conservative advocacy organization.
Some thoughts of theirs:

A law intended to add transparency and openness to government operations has been used to harass and silence.
