the issuance of "letters of marque and reprisal," or some sort of updated version of such a concept.

this is the first I've ever heard of this phrase, and it's from your post, not from any of the others who have claimed they "know" Paul's position...

Au contraire GZ, I refer you to post Message 23537310 where I introduced you to the Congressman’s concept of using Letters of Marque and Reprisal…- had you taken the time to read you would have seen this:

The best tool the framers of the Constitution provided under these circumstances was the power of Congress to grant letters of marque and reprisals, in order to narrow the retaliation to only the guilty parties. The complexity of the issue, the vagueness of the enemy, and the political pressure to respond immediately limits our choices. The proposed resolution is the only option we're offered and doing nothing is unthinkable.

Had you any curiosity or desire to learn the meaning of the term, you would have researched it instead of disregarding it or dismissing it out of hand if you indeed did read it.

In your response, you then asked “Specifically, what would he have done? TIA”

I chose not to answer your question, as the answer was readily evident in the material that I referenced.
