Obama .......signed........ a contract written up by congress that stated Obama must notify congress before any GITMO prisoners are transferred out of GITMO.
This isn't Obama's health care bill where you had to..........." sign it to know what was in it "
This contract was very specific and Obama did know what he signed.
He just ended up not giving a damn !
He also added an objection to what he signed. I really want to know the legality of whether
he broke the law or not. I just do not see that happening without the SC
weighing in on the constitutionality of the law itself.
IMO we will never get a concrete answer. Every Pres that comes along - they say nothing
sticks. I think they write these laws deliberately in a vague way with buts, and exceptions
so nothing ever sticks.
I'm wondering if the soldier's release was just an excuse. Maybe the release of those five Taliban
had more to do with private negotiations to keep our troops in Afghanistan after 2016 and beyond....
We did negotiate with terrorists, and we have done so routinely in the past under multiple previous administrations. The whole "we don't negotiate with terrorists" shtick is a fairytale told to naive, patriotic Americans.
Of course we have. I don't know what Conservatives are up in arms about.

As I've already noted it doesn't work that way. It is the law until a court rules otherwise. You can't ignore it because youbthink it might be unconstitutional. If that is what he thought he should have vetoed it.

Which would be a terrible reason to do it. We need to leave. Period.
This administration has no plans of leaving. That 9600 troops left in 2016 will escalate. You watch.
If Hillary "Hawk" gets elected its a given. Same for whoever the Republicans pick, with the exception
of Rand Paul or Libertarian Party candidate.
Folks may as well drop this. It's not going anywhere.
We made the swap, Bergdahl is home, and the case is finished.
BTW...they aren't going to get a conviction for desertion either. I doubt they'll even try.
