No surprise, really. President Obama’s request was patently unconstitutional as the 6th Amendment of the US Constitution guarantees a right to a speedy and public trial. A Presidential order demanding a 4 month delay - when there is no request from the prosecution OR defense - is patently unconstitutional!

In fact, if the judges upheld it, I would submit we petition the ACLU to sue the White House to remove its order as a violation of the 6th Amendment.

Funny how on one hand he says that he wants them sent to trial, but on the other hand he wants a 120 day delay. He seems pretty confused to me.
