  • Ah, yes, the “helpless executive” bullshit excuse for cowardice. Obama did not need to throw it to Congress by trying to relocate detainees to the US, they shouldn’t be detained in the first place and the gov has nothing on them except Bush administration gibberish that they know can’t hold up in a court of law. As commander-in-chief both he and Biden always had the power to order them released and repatriated and order their State Department to work on their repatriation with their nations of origin. That does not require any input whatsoever from Congress and not even the judiciary could stop it, it falls under broad commander-in-chief authority.
