@emptywheel read "AUMF Fallacy"- great piece. Wanted 2 note Obama didn't revoke OLC memo referred to at bottom of p 6 http://www.amnestyusa.org/sites/default/files/guantanamo_10_report.pdf …
@ZekeJohnsonAi Ah, very good point. I forgot that one was still out there. I also forget--is that one PUBLIC?

@emptywheel it's on the DOJ website, so I guess so (though maybe not safe to assume!) http://www.justice.gov/olc/warpowers925.htm … -
@ZekeJohnsonAi Is the 9/14 resolution the earlier version?
-
@emptywheel not sure I follow - is there an olc memo from 9/14 or do you mean the AUMF? -
@ZekeJohnsonAi Wondering why they cite 9/14 declaration. Text is the same as adopted on 9/18.

@emptywheel ah no idea. going to read what Lofgren said, can't remember -
@ZekeJohnsonAi She basically said they wouldnt have had bipartisan support if they hadn't limited AUMF. Suspect it's domestic, not sure.
-
@emptywheel hmmm interesting. I can't find the transcript, have you seen it? -
@ZekeJohnsonAi Not out yet, I don't think. She's at ~1:35-40 in the CSPAN video.

@emptywheel 2nd to last sentence: AUMF can't place any limits on POTUS' response to any terrorist threat -
@ZekeJohnsonAi Bingo. There it is. Still in place!
