They skipped over that part on Fox.

I skipped over something too:

What makes Hank's response even weaker is that the statute had a 45-day reauthorization for a reason. If DOJ was obliged to reauthorize it every time it came up simply because it had done so before, well, then the reauthorization provision is pretty pointless. Quite clearly the statute contemplated that hte facts or views of the law might change over time, and that a continuing need had to be rejustified with regularity.
