This is a reference to the Euthyphro dilemma, which questions whether something is good because God commands it, or if God commands it because it is good. If the good is simply whatever God commands, then saying "God's commands are good" is essentially saying "God's commands are God's commands," as it becomes a tautology without an independent standard of goodness.
