AT&Ts new defense - we did it for Nixon in Watergate...

I'd wager that all of this can be sorted out with a rock solid definition of 'war' as it pertains to the President's War Powers. i.e. What exactly constitutes an enemy in a 'war' and the difference between that and a military action against insurgents and terrorists or requested assistance to an allied country with the same.

The "War on Terror" is a misnomer, you can't wage war on an ideology as has been stated numerous times.

Congress was pretty clear about whom the President is supposed to pursue in the wake of the 9/11 attacks with their AUOF (aka, "declaration of war") resolution, and what his powers are. What is so difficult to understand about it?
