@emptywheel So would we know if there were AUMF failures in ct that prompted the turn, or cld it be just private communications with judges?
@MikeDrewWhat Not sure if it's a turn. Govt was similarly squeamish in original Awlaki suit (pre-death), just as Hellerstein ruled FOR ACLU

@emptywheel Meaning they sort of haltingly advanced both justifications? -
@MikeDrewWhat Here's post I wrote at time. http://is.gd/HSaSmm It was a VERY problematic AUMF, while claiming ACLU had wrong justification -
@emptywheel I bet I remember the post. Wasn't sure, so didn't ask. Thanks! -
@MikeDrewWhat I believe it's my only post ever with "fuck" in the title, which is saying something.
