Reply #56: You are, IMHO, utterly incorrect on all counts.

1) American soil is American soil. No exceptions for military bases is written into the law. If there is an exception, kindly show us where in the statute it is.

2) I suggest you read up on the fact that yes, countries of origin DO NOT want these guys. Specifically, read up on Yemen--90 dudes they aren't taking back. Read up on the Uighurs of China, who CAN'T go back, lest they be killed.

3) Cite the authority Obama has to circumvent the UCMJ. Not just 'he's the CIC.' You do realize that article 1, Section 8 gives CONGRESS, not the executive, the authority to amend or change the UCMJ--there was a reason for this. It's called King George.

4) Further, explain how an Article 3 court gets a) established by the Executive, and b) outside of US soil.

I think your argument would be stronger if you could make an argument that doesn't call for wholesale violation of the separation of powers.
