Holy Change of Tune Batman!

Corzine Goes from “Welcoming” a Supreme Court Appeal in E-Mail Case to Opposing Even a Hearing!

May 31, 2008:
"We're on the first rung of a three-rung ladder reviewing a constitutional question," Corzine said of the appeals process. "This is one of those things why you truly have an appeals process. We're prepared to turn the e-mails loose if that's what the judgment is."

Gov. Jon Corzine said Thursday has not changed his plans to retain e-mails he exchanged with his union leader ex-girlfriend, saying he fought on principle to keep them confidential.
Corzine told The Associated Press he welcomes an appeal to the state Supreme Court by Republican State Committee Chairman Tom Wilson, who has sued the governor seeking to make the e-mails public. "I want to make sure, as I have from the beginning, that the principle that private conversations of the governor -- not just me, but future governors -- are firmly established to be protected under executive privilege," Corzine said.
