Obama has never allowed the law to get in his way before.
Funny how that works.

So Kennedy is wrong?
In other words, you are wondering if the law Obama would be breaking specifically mentions Gitmo and the continental U.S. and makes a distinction between the two.
I don't know.

According to the United States Supreme Court, legally it doesn't matter if the GITMO detainees are in Guantanamo or fucking Iowa.

It's not illegal. Obama could be a balla and just pay out of pocket. The only thing Congress actually did was deny him use of Federal Funding to transport them to the United States.
Don't worry as usual Obama will let the law get in the way even when it's wrong and be a worthless bitch. He's drumming up support but he knows his place unfortunately.
Also yes Gitmo is technically in the United States but exists in this absurd legal fiction.

What about other military bases and embassies? Are they "technically" in the United States too?

If it's illegal to transfer a prisoner from GTMO to the US then it would be illegal to transfer a prisoner to the US from any other US naval base located outside the US, such as NAS Sigonella. Is that illegal? If it is, what law makes it illegal?

Generally that would be yes but it's really complicated and ultimatley GITMO is it's own animal.
Miles failed to explain it and I'm currently looking for proper citation but as I understand it Congress just specifically refuses to pay for it. They control the purse strings ergo Obama can't move. Checks and Balances in action.
But hey I'm having a hard time with citing it, perhaps miles knows what miles is talking about. We all know that's asking a bit much but still.

And the UN is located in NYC, but if you go on the property, you are no longer in America, but in international territory.
Weird shit.

From that RW rag The NY Times:
"Congress has enacted a law banning the military from transferring detainees from Guantánamo onto domestic soil, and lawmakers have shown little interest in lifting that restriction."
The law is the law. I didn't make it. If you don't like it, tell it to Congress. Quit picking pepper out of fly shit.
