And the post 9/11 congressional resolution authorizing 'all necessary force' in fighting terrorism was made in clear reference to military intervention. It did not scrap the Constitution and allow the president to do whatever he pleased in any area in the name of fighting terrorism.

Clearly, the[former] governor of Massachusetts has a lot of homework to do on the problems facing our state. When he finally gets around to it, he'll see that the problems we face require real solutions rather than stale political rhetoric.
