That damned oath! It will get a U.S. president into trouble every time.

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

Obama accepts the core principle that the United States has the right to detain enemy combatants who threaten the United States without subjecting that detention to domestic judicial review.


Powerline paraphrased Obama's stance as: We must always support our core values, except when it's really important.
