The case makes no mention of war time Presidential Constitutional Obligations to protect the US from all enemies foreign and domestic. The case you quote is very interesting being that the AG made a phone booth case into a National Security issue which is a tad bit different than 19 hijackers slamming planes into the sides of buildings.

Actually most of the citations that the DOJ makes are that way. Such is the nature of case law, you look for the snippets that best defend your point of view. In this case, there is not much that would be specific to 9/11 and a war without borders so he had to dig up what he could.

"The case you quote is very interesting"

Another interesting on to look up is Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. The DOJ uses it to say that "When the President acts pursuant to an express or implied authorization of Congress, his authority is at its maximum". I say it is interesting the DOJ used it because in this case, the President LOST.
