Gonzales Hits the Talk Show Circuit
GONZALES: Look, over there. It's a candy bar?
JIMMINY? What? Where? Oh, stop that. Seriously, Alberto, what's your authority for this?
GONZALES: Have I mentioned that the President is Commander in Chief? Yeah, that's the ticket. It's inherent in his military powers as commander.
JIMMINY: So, you are saying the President has the authority to command military forces to take action against citizens in our own country, without following the laws of our nation, whenever he pleases? That's your justification?
GONZALES: Yeah, that's it. That's the ticket.
JIMMINY: What about posse comitatus?
GONZALES: We don't use that kind of language in this White House.
