Under what guideline can Obama make the Pentagon withdrawl the case?

When I first read the article, I was so impressed that the judge is standing up to Obama, but if Obama is saying I’ll find my own way around this problem, then I am more than stunned.

He’s the commander-in-chief that’s how. The courts are separate and don’t have to listen to Obama, but the military is under his thumb. They will do as they are told.

Obama’s whole career when he was teaching was how to get around laws and get the results anyway.

Just look up the test questions he asked the students, all of them were how to defend someone when the law was clearly against their wishes, it’s blatant this is his M.O..

His (usurped?) powers as Commander In Chief.

He can order them to withdraw the case. Of course he'd rather not be so blatant. But he can order other things to accomplish the same end.
