Chloe, I need those U.S. Reports now!

What if Jack Bauer were Chief Justice during the Charles River Bridge v. Warren case?

The following takes place between 18:31 and 18:37

JACK BAUER: [on cell to Bill Buchanan] I'm telling you Bill---I've seen the schematics Cookie lifted off the Austrian's blackberry---the bridge needs to come down---we have to blow it, or else the whole economy is going to collapse.

BILL BUCHANAN: Jack, I've been personally tasked by the President on this one--Alpha One Double Secret. That bridge, Jack, the the legislature gave exclusive control over the waters of the river--if you do this, you will have invaded corporate privilege by interfering with the company's profit-making ability. Do you realize what you are doing?

JACK BAUER: We're running out of time! Lives are at stake, not to mention balancing the rights of private property against the need for economic development. Chloe, I need you to override original intent parameters on this...

CHLOE O'BRIEN: You got it Jack.

BILL BUCHANAN: God help us if you're wrong, Jack. God help us all.
