Even More OLC Memos

I posted just over a week ago that the OLC was releasing Bush-era legal memos on issues of interest in the prior administration.  The OLC released another batch last week; check them out here.  Below is a cut-and-paste of the most recently released memos.  For a bit of irony, note particularly the last one, in which the OLC ruled that the OLC Reporting Act--which requires that the OLC report to Congress on any "authoritative legal interpretation" of "any federal statute"--was unconstitutional.
