U.S. magistrate rejects White House e-mails plea

Its gonna take a long time to undo what Bush has done to America, but this is one of the first steps.

The Federal Records Act and the President Records Act require that all e-mails be saved, yet a U.S. magistrate on Friday rejected arguments by the Bush administration and urged a federal judge to order the White House to preserve copies of all its e-mails.

U.S. Magistrate Judge John M. Facciola said it is necessary to hold out the threat of a contempt-of-court citation to ensure that White House personnel safeguard backup tapes of electronic messages that may have been deleted.
