Whut?  When was this broadcast?  Maddow mocking O'bummer's "ad hoc legal system"?  Rather, Maddow mocking O'bummer at all?

When matters, because if this is recent, he's toast.

This was from earlier this year, IIRC.
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

So, has s/he reverted to type, defending him against all comers, or are the cracks continuing to show?

I can honestly say I haven't heard or seen a word spoken by that dyke in many months until just this evening. I don't know, but if I had to guess I'd say she's back to being a slobbering worshiper.

Ah, I see.  So the conclusion to be drawn is s/he can be critical when about which s/he chooses; it remains to be seen when and over what events.

In other words, SNAFU.

"President Barack Obama vigorously defended his plans to close the Guantanamo prison camp on Thursday and promised to work with Congress to develop a system for imprisoning detainees who can't be tried and can't be turned loose.

Obama conceded that some would end up in U.S. prisons and insisted those facilities were tough enough to house even the most dangerous inmates.

The president spoke one day after the Senate voted resoundingly to deny him money to close the prison in Cuba, but Obama said he was still determined. And he decried arguments used against his plans.

"We will be ill-served by the fearmongering that emerges whenever we discuss this issue," he declared.

"There are no neat or easy answers here," Obama said in a speech in which he pledged anew to "clean up the mess at Guantanamo." Speaking at the National Archives, Obama said he wouldn't do anything to endanger the American people.

He noted that roughly 500 detainees already have been released by the Bush administration. There are 240 at Guantanamo now.

Obama said opening and continuing the military prison "set back the moral authority that is America's strongest currency in the world."
