The Secretary of Defense and his legal team are either

a. hopelessly stupid; or

b. intentionally ignoring what someone with no legal
degree but an access to Google could find re such existing options in order to continue to stall and distract from the fact that he and Obama are CHOOSING to do nothing.

Mr. Secretary: pick your hat.
