We've all heard that the law requires the administration to give Congress 30 days notice before releasing prisoners from the U.S. terrorist detention facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba a provision the White House willfully ignored in the recent release of five Taliban commandos in exchange for Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl.
(snip) The president will act as he chooses, no matter what Congress wants. The next Guantanamo release could make the Bergdahl battle seem tame.

If I recall correctly, the failure of the Reagan administration to follow congressional dictates resulted in a two-year-long national scandal and MSM feeding frenzy called "the Iran-Contra affair."

By that time, Lindsey Grahm and McConnell, Boehner, Cantor, et al will have been reelected and the time for “reach around the aisle” will be here. IOW forget it. Damage done, and they’re reelected again.

The Republican leadership is weak, never impeach Barack.
They'll just hold out for the 2016 regime change.

He will do it again just to demonstrate he is King, and there is nothing anyone can do to stop a King.
Congress is just there for his amusement!

John Boehner would cry and Lindsay Graham would wimper.
More Americans and thousands of of others in the world will die.

If a frog had wings...
If the dog hadn’t stopped to poop...
If ifs and buts were candy and nuts...
NOTHING will happen
Obama could burn down an orphanage in Christmas eve and kill all the inhabitants and NBC could film it and blame the republicans..
that is life.

The Government will never run out of red.
Will always have enough red tape for the little guys.
Will always have more meaningless red lines for the powerful.
They will never get out of the red on the economy.

What if Obama breaks every law ever passed at the same time?
Nothing.
He can do whatever he wants whenever he wants completely free of consequence.
That is all.

Well, if he asks permission first, no harm, no foul.
And another article summed it up, he let the worst, most dangerous terrorists out first so it’s all downhill from here.
One last point, they have this pattern of
1. scandal/breaking hard
2. scandal/escalating
3. scandal/blanket coverage 24/7
4. scandal/America’s sick of watching it
5. scandal/just on Rush and Hannity
6. scandal/gone

The Republican leadership is weak, never impeach Barack.I think BO really, really, wants them to try. There is no other way he can bring his peeps to the polls in 2014 as he did two years ago.

I think BO really, really, wants them to try. There is no other way he can bring his peeps to the polls in 2014 as he did two years ago. We have a winner.
Loose talk of impeachment is the only hope Obama has this November and going forward.
