With a phone and a pen.

That is the answer as to how President Obama can transfer Guantanamo detainees to prisons on the U.S. mainland despite the fact that Congress expressly prohibited this. However, kudos to Jake Tapper on The Lead today for questioning the legality of such a transfer during an interview with an equally skeptical CNN Pentagon Correspondent, Barbara Starr.

Obama's chief of staff promised his last year in office would be chock full of executive orders to circumvent the law.

Obama arms al Qaeda.

And not one member of “US” Congress sees a problem
with that Treason. Certainly none of the
complicit GOP.

It is illegal for Obama to legalize illegals, but he’s been doing it since 2012.

He has been ignoring the laws since Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009

What is this “legal” thing you speak of? You must be one of those white privileged bigots.

We SHOULD transfer everyone at Gitmo to a U.S. prison. Then, SEND THEM ALL BACK TO GITMO AFTER THE PREZ LEAVES THE WHITE HOUSE.

Obama’s final year will be the WORST! Every “stick-it-to-em” thing he can think of, he will do. Because he’s an insidious oligarch who has defanged his opponents, with their cooperation!

You elect a president who hates America and a lot of bad things are going to happen. That’s about it.

About the only thing our side can do is make sure every nasty-ass thing Obama does gets hung around the neck of his disastrous stupid evil political party.

Will we though?

No one in Congress will, I’ll tell you that.

Maybe Trump will, I don’t know. He’s maybe smarter to lump Democrat and Republican together as “stupid politicians” and run against them all.

Gitmo will have been given back to Cuba before that.

Every “stick-it-to-em” thing he can think of,
= = =

I don’t think he is capable of thinking all this up.

It’s V-J, plus Satan.

Virtually everything he does is illegal. How many times has the gutless old party stopped him from his illegal activity? NONE. How many future illegal activities will they stop? NONE. The whole putrefying mess just stinks to high heaven. No wonder so many people utterly despise politicians.

He will have handed the Castro brothers the keys to Gitmo before he leaves office.

congress should appeal to the USSC. Then “irish south american kids” roberts can deny the appeal, and the problem is resolved!

Legality? What difference does it make?

Our fathers fought to make this country great. It is not fair to them to ruin what they fought and died for.

The bigger problem is the legality of incarcerating anyone in Gitmo under these circumstances in the first place.
