[PW] Most Notable Quotations of 2008

[Baker, John]

        Actually, it should say:  "Decisions by the Secretary pursuant
to the authority of this Act are non-reviewable and committed to agency
discretion, and may not be reviewed by any court of law or any
administrative agency."  Also, since this was Section 8 of the initial
Treasury draft of what eventually became the Emergency Economic
Stabilization Act of 2008, I don't know that it should be attributed to
Paulson personally, as he is unlikely to have written it and did not
take personal credit for it.

Here's another:

Decisions by the Secretary pursuant to the authority of this President
are non-reviewable and committed to agency discretion, and many not be
reviewed by any court of law or any administrative agency.
Hank Paulson

"many not be" should be "may not be".
