Romney’s answer is like if he were asked if he had just heard that his son had been taken to the hospital with potentially life threatening injuries and he needed to get there as soon as possible, what would be the first thing he would do?
And his answer would be he would check his driver’s license to make sure it was still valid before setting out to the hospital.
It is a matter of proprotion and balance. I agree that a prudent President would touch the legalities, but NO WAY is that the answer to the question asked. It is indicative of someone who has his priorities skewed.
Indeed Romney is what one would call an a$$ kisser, and a bad one at that. He is more interested in garnering votes and looking like a potential President. Heck maybe after his failed attempt for 08, he can get an acting role similar to the one Martin Sheen has.
No it is not. The question was not a fleeting target question. What will a general tell you about the War Powers Act of 1973? Obviously LAWYERS are involved in events like the bombing of Yugoslavia.

I like how you side with Fineman and Democrats to support Giuliani.
