those 60 words have become the legal foundation for the "war on terror." We go into the meetings that took place in the chaotic days just after 9/11, speak with Congresswoman Barbara Lee and former Congressman Ron Dellums about the vote on the AUMF.
A Supreme Court ruling on this really will settle the matter, but Congress did so when it when it drafted our statute. So I don't think this is so much a area of law where there's a lack of clarity. I think the statute's very clear. It's in the black letter statutory text.
