Question: with these gag orders, can't all the information still be gotten through FOIA requests? Sure, there are hurdles, but fundamentally the public has a right to access this information, right?

You think this law will be respected any more than any other? Laws—and even the Constitution—are only meaningful if they are enforced. Between Congressional and Executive branch actions, along with a party friendly Supreme Court (once a couple more Judges retire or die) why would you assume any law will be enforced?
