action in libya. the administration is vigorously defending the president's actions, and mike emanuel is watching this story for us. today we hear that speaker boehner responded to this 30-page document that the white house sent to congress. >> reporter: well, it's interesting because they laid out their legal argument for why they believe it's within the president's authority to continue this operation in libya. what the speaker's team is saying after going through that document is did all the lawyers agree in terms of advising the executive branch that this was within the president's legal authority? we heard the white house counsel, bob bowers' take on it, but what did the justice department say? they're wondering if there's dissension within the ranks in terms of did everyone sign off on this, agree it's within the president's authority? as for the speaker, here was his take from earlier this morning. >> the white house says there are no hostilities taking place. yet we've got drone attacks
