The Democrats Acts of Treason in Congress Defying Barack Obama Closing Gitmo
Democrats on Capitol Hill Rebel Against President Obama's Guantanamo Bay Plan.
This is nothing short of an undignified act of cowardice, ignorance, defiance for Barack Obama and the American people who elected him.
Democrats lined up with Republicans in the 90-6 vote that came on the heels of a similar move a week ago in the House of Representatives, underscoring widespread apprehension among Obama's congressional allies over voters' strong feelings about bringing detainees to the U.S.The lopsided vote was a victory for Senate Republicans, who have recently turned their attention to Obama's foreign and terrorism-related policies after failing to make headway in criticizing his economic program.
Senator Richard Durbin of Illinois, the second-in-command among Democrats, pointed out that no one has ever escaped from a federal "supermax" prison and that 347 convicted terrorists are among those held in them.Fact Box
