Fiorina: Religion Not a Test For Presidency; Muslim Leader OK

[Moonglow]

The president does not personally charge military offenders with crimes...

I beg to differ...slightly.

The US military caught combatants on the ground fighting against them and trying to kill them. In essence they became POWs. The military wanted to hold military tribunals, but the Federal Govt said, 'NO'.

Obama, and Liberals, decided that we would give / assign U.S.-Citizen Constitutionally-provided RIGHTS to not only FOREIGNERS but to terrorists, wartime combatants who were caught on the field of battle trying to kill our troops.

Obama then ordered the Department of Justice, at tax payer expense, charge them with crimes, give them the best lawyers our money could buy, and conduct 'criminal' trails for them here in the US. He also became the Gitmo WARDEN, the JUDGE, and the PARDONER who began releasing these combat terrorist enemies in an attempt to empty out Gitmo - a promise he wanted to keep despite Congress and the American citizens opposing this idea. He released the WORST terrorist, butchers, and even the Taliban 5 - the top 5 Taliban leaders. (1 -2 week after releasing them a group one of them lead attacked a village and slaughtered all the men, women, and children in the town!)

Commander-And-Chief, Judge, Jury, Pardon Bestow-er, ...Islamic sympathizer....

What the hail....but Obama can be and do anything he wants. Remember - he has a pen and a phone.

The push was court related decisions on the GITMO prisoners by federal courts...

Boumediene v. Bush, 553 U.S. 723 (2008), was a writ of habeas corpus submission made in a civilian court of the United States on behalf ofLakhdar Boumediene, a naturalized citizen of Bosnia and Herzegovina, held in military detention by the United States at the Guantanamo Bay detention camps in Cuba.[1][2][3][4] Guantanamo Bay is not formally part of the United States, and under the terms of the 1903 lease between the United States and Cuba, Cuba retained ultimate sovereignty over the territory, while the United States exercises complete jurisdiction and control.[5] The case was consolidated with habeas petition Al Odah v. United States. It challenged the legality of Boumediene's detention at the United States Naval Station military base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba as well as the constitutionality of the Military Commissions Act of 2006. Oral arguments on the combined cases were heard by the Supreme Court on December 5, 2007.

On June 12, 2008, Justice Kennedy delivered the opinion for the 5-4 majority, holding that the prisoners had a right to the habeas corpus under the United States Constitution and that the Military Commissions Act of 2006 was an unconstitutional suspension of that right. The Court applied the Insular Cases, by the fact that the United States, by virtue of its complete jurisdiction and control, maintains "de facto" sovereignty over this territory, while Cuba retained ultimate sovereignty over the territory, to hold that the aliens detained as enemy combatants on that territory were entitled to the writ of habeas corpus protected in Article I, Section 9 of the U.S. Constitution. The lower court had expressly indicated that no constitutional rights (not merely the right to habeas) extend to the Guantanamo detainees, rejecting petitioners' arguments, but the Supreme Court held that fundamental rights afforded by the Constitution extend to the Guantanamo detainees as well.
