        @jacklgoldsmith @CurtisBradley20 I wonder if it's an overstatement to say the new Trump OLC Syria memo (and the unpublished 2013 Obama OLC Syria memo) have added mitigating humanitarian disasters to the national-interest mix. What about the 1994 Clinton OLC Haiti memo? /1

      @jacklgoldsmith @CurtisBradley20 After all, one of the specifically articulated interests Walter Dellinger cited in the 1994 Haiti memo was "to stop the brutal atrocities that threaten tens of thousands of Haitians" justice.gov/file/20306/download /2

    @jacklgoldsmith @CurtisBradley20 It seems like that one should also be in the pantheon of major decisions in this line, especially since it inaugurated the much-cited formulation re anticipated nature, scope, and duration falling short of war in the constitutional sense. (PS Bosnia memo was 1995, not 1994). /end

      @jacklgoldsmith @CurtisBradley20 Appending correction to tweet thread - my reference in 1st post to 2013 Syria memo should have been the 2014 Iraq memo whose existence was just revealed via a citation in the new Syria memo - thanks to @becingber
