From the Wall Street Journal (Subscription required):
Egad. Call in the attorneys? Perhaps it is Mr. Romney’s experience in business that taught him to want lawyers at his elbow, given that no CEO can survive without them these days. Or perhaps it is our hyper-legalized politics, with Mr. Bush accused daily of “breaking the law” over mere policy disagreements. But deferring to lawyers to tell a President when he can and cannot use force to defend the country is not the proper understanding of executive power under the Constitution, and it is dangerous if it is the first instinct of a Commander in Chief.
Mr. Romney should have said that a President’s first duty is to do whatever it takes to protect the United States, and that he’d have the Constitutional authority to use military force to do so — as Presidents from Washington to Teddy Roosevelt to Reagan have done — but that of course he would want to consult with Congress and win its support as time and circumstances allowed. Mr. Romney doesn’t need a lawyer; he needs to reread the Federalist Papers.
In other words, America needs a LEADER like Rudy Giuliani as President and not an indecisive -BRING IN THE LAWYERS TYPE CEO type like Mitt Romney.
America’s choice but Flap will take the LEADER any day.
