It's not a 'need' for this 'authority', it's not actually a written down 'authority', it's really not any kind of actual 'authority', it's an argument over language/provisions/whatevers, or rather evidently a severe enough lack of it, that it's possible one could be made, just an argument could possibly be made that is, not the same thing as having any kind of written authority, much less policy, and originally it was just an honest answer by A.G. Holder to an honest question by a reporter...and oh man and didn't that just blow on by everybody, ~whooooosh~ I'm sayin', why I'm shocked I tells ya's!
And yes, yes any yesterday would have been a pretty good day to put whatever kinda kewl stuff in, that makes it iron clad that this is the type behavior we won't care for not so very much tomorrow.
