Capitol Police claim Jan. 6 emails and videos are not public records; assert 'sovereign immunity' to Judicial Watch suit - TheBlaze: 

In court documents filed to counter USCP's request to block the lawsuit, Judicial Watch argues court precedent upholds the right of the people to know what "their government is up to."

“In ‘the courts of this country’— including the federal courts—the common law bestows upon the public a right of access to public records and documents ... the Supreme Court was unequivocal in stating that there is a federal common law right of access ‘to inspect and copy public records and documents.’ ... [T]he general rule is that all three branches of government, legislative, executive, and judicial, are subject to the common law right,” Judicial Watch wrote.
