Issues: National Security Executive Branch
U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, released the following statement regarding a report in the Wall Street Journal that President Obama may defy Congress and shutter Guantanamo Bay using executive action:
"As terrorists behead innocent Americans and civilians abroad, the only message we need to be sending our enemies right now is that we're coming after them, not bringing them into our backyards.
"The President's number one responsibility should be ensuring the safety of the American people and supporting our men and women in uniform, not trying to make good on an ill-conceived campaign promise simply to mollify far left donors and energize his base before an election."
