I still disagree with the illegal part, but it is refreshing to see CNN finally attack the president on something instead if protect him.
I would have preferred a rescue, but then I don't know enough of the facts. The setting matters. It would be an international nightmare if such a rescue occurred in an urban setting.
I see you do not understand the constitution. Look up separation of powers.I beg to differ with you LOP. While you make the case that the laws are illegal passed by Congress, many could make that claim on several issues. Nevertheless, currently they are the LAW.
Good or bad trade, I think it is worse that now they will look for taking more Americans as hostages/prisoners. The president has acknowledged he will barter with terrorists.Obama did not make a wise trade. PFC Bergdahl (he was promoted to sergeant while being held captive) is well documented that he was a disserter and good honorable paratroopers lost their lives searching for this bastard. Various sources from Bergdahl’s unit, the 501st Airborne Infantry are reporting in around the Web with this information:
I think you are not serious about this debate. Maybe you watch too much Homeland?The American prisoner converted to islam and is a jihadist. So Obama let 6 jihadists go, not just five! How groovy is that!
Not to side with Obama, but there are plenty of legitimate things he has done wrong. This is not one of them. He is not bound to illegal laws passed by congress, and this is an executive decision.
Obama is NOT going to be impeached.
States rights. Obama steps all over the 10th.

Please notice, I never said it was a good trade. I only said it was within his rights as president.

Bergdahl, who was raised a devout Presbyterian, started talking about converting to Islam. Suspicious at first, his captors asked if it was out of fear or frustration that he wanted to convert.
“He told us, ‘Your way of life has impressed me, and I want to live like you,’” said the commander.
Taliban prisoner swap was ILLEGAL and could lead to Obama's IMPEACHMENT | Mail Online
Taliban prisoner swap was ILLEGAL claims GOP as former federal prosecutor says it could lead to Obama's impeachment
The president ignored a law – which he signed last year – requiring him to notify Congress 30 days before releasing anyone from Guantanamo Bay
The Obama administration never told Capitol Hill until after Bergdahl was in American custody and the US Taliban prisoners were preparing to leave
A former federal prosecutor told MailOnline that while the 30-day-notice law is probably unconstitutional, putting enemy combatants back in a position to harm Americans is an impeachable offense
A White House insider said Obama administration officials didn't anticipate how controversial Bergdahl's rescue would be, and compared it to the 1981 release of 52 US hostages in Iran
If that's true, why on EARTH would he do that?? Unbelievable. That it may be unconstitutional is almost besides the point. He signed it.

Obama thinks he above the law.

Maggie D would you believe it if it were news on CNN?
Jeffrey Toobin: Obama ‘Clearly Broke the Law’ on Bergdahl | Mediaite
CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin declared on Monday that President Barack Obama “broke the law” when his administration failed to give Congress notice of at least 30 days before releasing five ranking Taliban members from Guantanamo Bay. Toobin said that a presidential signing statement did not absolve Obama from culpability for failing to abide by the law mandating congressional notification.
“I think he clearly broke the law,” Toobin said. “The law says 30-days’ notice. He didn’t give 30-days’ notice.” Toobin added that Obama’s opinion expressed in a signing statement “is not law.”
it is impeachable BTW
The Republocrats in general believe themselves to be above the law. It's all f'n Judge Dredd for them. "I am the law!".
He will not be impeached. No one is willing to deal with the fallout that would occur if he was. We are all going to just keep walking on eggshells until he is out of office, and then try to repair the damage he has done to this country.
What another informed person here no freaking way! I call them the repukelicrats!!!!! the one party system of ****.
awesome
I am willing and demand it actually. He hates america period and i do not trust him one bit.
It's been a single party system for some time. Others are just too caught up in voting for the "lesser of two evils" to acknowledge that they are still supporting "evil".
I'm not a legal schoaler, but I play one on the internet :2wave:Still waiting for our legal scholar to define 'illegal laws.'
Name for me the democrat senators that will vote for impeachment. In fact, name one.I am willing and demand it actually. He hates america period and i do not trust him one bit.

Knock yourself out. No one will act on your demands. Obama's impeachment has been demanded since Benghazi. Look where those demands have gotten you.
