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."

What if Obama disobeys the law on another Gitmo release? Nothing.

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.
To: Steely Tom
Well,for starters the former Twelfth Lady will call for impeachment....Holder will resign in protest....Tingles will weep openly for his 300 viewers....

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.

What do you mean , “What If” ? He’s going to do it no matter what . He wants off the hit list for killing Osama bin Laden and will do any and everything to try to make that happen

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

To: Steely Tom
You recall correctly.
Important differences are:
- Iran-Contra involved hostages, not a deserter & probable defector
- Iran-Contra did not involve direct actions by Reagan, Obama personally negotiated the return of imprisoned Taliban commanders

Pretty much.
THIS is why we need a SCOTUS decision on this. We have accepted Signing Statements for decades. The first, I believe, to use it was Monroe.
So screaming now is a good thing, but we need to remember history so someone will get this matter before the Courts. The Constitution is silent on the matter. No, that alone is not enough as since Marbury the Court has claimed the right to interpret the Constitution as it sees fit and, Conservative or Lib or in between they all have gone beyond “original intent”. Don’t let anyone fool you. They all do it.
So what do we need here? A ruling.
To: Steely Tom
A real leader in Congress should stand up and publicly tell the military not to do it. Its unconstitutional.
I would like to see a Constitutional crisis.

Then he needs to be frog-marched out of the White House between a pair of Federal Marshals.
