Those shredding services are working over time. Recall the news film of shredding trucks outside Cheney's office a couple of years ago? How many million e-mails did they destroy? But they also had to take care of any interoffice memos, postits, "while you were out" notes and desk calendars. It takes a lot of time and effort to shred the Constitution.
