Berkeley City Manager Phil Kamlarz advised the council to take no action because "federal law explicitly prohibits the transfer of Guantanamo detainees to the United States."
President Obama signed that measure into law last month.
As usual a few un-showered hippies still slithering around Bezerkely California, Had decided that a couple of detainees from Gitmo would be cool to have hanging around town with them;even living in their homes with them.
Ha Ha you loose, AGAIN.

A Berkeley, Calif. resolution to roll out the welcome mat to freed Guantanamo Bay detainees was voted down in the last minutes of its City Council meeting Tuesday night.
The proposal was rejected by a 4-1 vote, with four council members abstaining.
The city, home to the hippie movement of the 1960s, was considering inviting “one or two” detainees to live in Berkeley once they were cleared of wrongdoing and released from the U.S. detention facility in Cuba.
The resolution also would have asked Congress to allow cleared Guantanamo detainees to resettle in the U.S.
“We’re talking about a group of people in Guantanamo who have been there up to nine years and have never been charged,” commission member Rita Maran said before the vote.

Former Gov. Jennifer Granholm and her husband, Dan Mulhern, will teach at the University of California-Berkeley, and together they’ll write a book about her experience leading Michigan during one of its worst economic episodes, according to Politico.com today.
The two will continue to live in Michigan, however, and are searching for a permanent home in the state, where she was governor for eight years and attorney general for four.
Since leaving the governor’s residence in Lansing they have rented in the Lansing area, where their son, Jack, attends middle school.
Democrat Granholm, 51, also will be a paid contributor to NBC’s “Meet the Press.” She and Mulhern have joined the Keppler’s Speakers Bureau for speaking engagements, she told Politico.com in an interview
