That is an interesting twist. Did the President site that in his legal defense of his action?
There has been no “legal defense” of this action from anything I’ve seen, except talking heads and radio interviews with various legal experts coming down on one side or the other. I understand there was a court case a while back that was filed by his father on his behalf when he was first named as an al-Qaeda operative, and that was dismissed in a Federal court by a judge who said the Federal courts had no authority over these matters.
