Sen. John Cornyn said there’s going to be a fight and it’s “going to take a little more time” to pass the bill he’s filed to fix many of the operational problems in the Freedom of Information Act. The Texas Republican said that he’s encountered “a deep skepticism about the issue. Everybody’s happy to talk about their triumphs.
