ONLY 1 representative voted against authorizing endless military force after 9/11 and it wasn't Ron Paul.
The authorization granted the President the authority to use all "necessary and appropriate force" against those whom he determined "planned, authorized, committed or aided" the September 11th attacks, or who harbored said persons or groups.
If a judge is given a warrant without a a specific suspect and without an expiration date and the judge signs it, the judge cannot later state "I thought the police were just going to detain Bin Laden and nobody else."
