Obama denied and embarassed by his own democratic controlled Senate, AND a Federal Judge on Gitmo
Michelle Malkin has all the details of the stories breaking today. The Senate amendment scrapping funding for Obama’s Gitmo closure has just been passed by 90-6. The decision represents a potentially serious setback for Obama, who as a candidate vowed to close Gitmo and signed an executive order beginning the process soon after he took office. Also today a federal judge rules that the US can continueindefinite detention of enemy combatants. U.S. District Judge John Bates’ opinion issued Tuesday night limited the Obama administration’s definition of who can be held. But he said Congress in the days after Sept. 11, 2001 gave the president the authority to hold anyone involved in planning, aiding or carrying out the terrorist attacks. Back to the ordering pizza for awhile Hussein while you think up what to do!
Here are the 6 democrats that voted FOR funding:
Durbin (D-IL)
Harkin (D-IA)
Leahy (D-VT)
Levin (D-MI)
Reed (D-RI)
Whitehouse (D-RI)
