Pew poll: "Liberals" overwhelmingly say Obama had no duty to inform Congress of Bergdahl swap
Of all the polls over the past few years exposing Democrats' Bush hysteria as the partisan hackery it was - see the ones on drones and spying on reporters, for starters - today's is my very favorite, just because the demand it places on Obama is so small. Surely, surely, people who spent years screeching about "King George" and the executive run amok don't object to a federal law that simply requires O to notify Congress a month before releasing any Gitmo detainees. There's nothing Congress can do to stop him; his Article II power is supreme. All they ask is a little heads-up before we start sending jihadis back out into the big brave world.
Nope. And note that it's "liberals," not "Democrats," who are the most extreme in their position. Centrist Dems are the ones being consistent with their Bush-era rhetoric about a runaway executive, not lefties.
The other key finding from today's poll is unsurprising given the reaction among members of Bergdahl's own unit to the prisoner exchange, but here you go. Proof positive that "leave no man behind" isn't working in this case with the audience that should, in theory, be most receptive to it...Also read:

IIRC didn't Hillary receive almost a record amount of millions of $ in a book advance just before Bill left office? She'll play the 'woe is me' victim, war on women and entitlement game all the way to the Oval Office. She must be stopped!
