"Vice President-elect Mike Pence is heading to court in order to keep secret the contents of an email sent while serving as governor of Indiana.
The email was sent between Pence's administration and a private law firm in regards to a state lawsuit against President Obama over his immigration policies. The lawsuit originated in 2014 when Obama declared that parents of children who entered the U.S. before they were 16 years old would be offered deferred enforcement.
According to The Indianapolis Star, which originally reported the story, said "the email is being sought by a prominent Democratic labor lawyer who says he wants to expose waste in the Republican administration."
The issue, however, could extend beyond the lawsuit by setting a precedent limiting government transparency.
"It comes down to this — the court is giving up its ability to check another branch of government, and that should worry people," Gerry Lanosga, an Indiana University media professor, told the newspaper."
