First, let me bow to your great wisdom.
Secondly, let me respond to your naivete. Even if Glenn is correct that Ms Johnsen can, in theory, bind the president, the simple truth is that, what Obama giveth, he can take away. She went to Yale. She knows that and will almost certainly act act accordingly. Tis the way of the world. Power corrupts.
By the way, don't you think it is rather ironic that a woman who has devoted much of her career to ensuring that a woman's right to terminate a pregnancy (which results in what many thoughtful people consider a deadly assault on the most vulnerable of all human beings) is going to step in and prevent the US from being mean to non-citizens suspected of terrorist activities.
Sounds like a mantra for the radical left; Kill the babies; Coddle the terrorists.
Fortunately, Mr Obama is smarter than his critics on the left. Which is why he can throw them a milkbone and accomplish his goals without a bunch of left wing critics getting in the way.
