Only days after Scalia is put in the ground, Obama is prepared to break the law and close GitMo. And now you know the NUMBER 1 Reason why Scalia was knocked off. To close Gitmo it has to break the law.
No one will impeach him and only Scalia could have stopped him!

Just the prison, not the base.
He has been mouthing off about this since before his first term yet didn't do it. We'll see if he is still all hat no cattle on this.

He meets with Castro and he can end the lease with Cuba and hand over the property. As I understand it, that is within his authority to do when could be a end run around to close the prison, which to do so would break the law. As if the law applies to any Govt worker... Know of any one who has been fired at the VA or the IRS????, NO they have all been reinstated and only those who chose to stay retired have not come back...

Republicans on Obama's Gitmo Plan: 'It Is Against the Law'
Tuesday, February 23, 2016 12:18 PM
By: Sandy Fitzgerald
Republicans Tuesday struck out at President Barack Obama's long-promised plan to close the United States' detention center at Guantanamo Bay, with several insisting that his plan to transfer detainees to American soil is against the law.
"After seven years, President Obama has yet to convince the American people that moving Guantanamo terrorists to our homeland is smart or safe," House Speaker Paul Ryan said shortly after Obama's announcement, and he doesn't seem interested in continuing to try."
Further, said Ryan, Obama's extensive proposal "fails to provide critical details required by law, including the exact cost and location of an alternate detention facility. Congress has left no room for confusion. It is against the law — and it will stay against the law — to transfer terrorist detainees to American soil. We will not jeopardize our national security over a campaign promise."
Obama's proposal, which has been demanded by opponents resisting Obama's repeated attempts to close the Cuban facility, calls to spend nearly $500 million to transfer from 30 to 60 detainees to U.S. facilities. There have been 13 potential sites that could be used, but the Pentagon has not identified a specific location for the prisoners, a point that angers opponents.
