ook, why don't we cut this debate short. All you need do is point to the section of the Constitution which grants the judiciary the power to tell Congress how to conduct it's business.The Court is not telling Congress how to conduct its business. It's not telling Congress that it has to do anything. It's simply interpreting the law as it applies to the unconstitutional detention of an American citizen, on American soil, in the absence of a Constitutionally-declared war. The court has simply said that in order to indefinitely detain anyone as an enemy combatant, the President must have explicit authority from Congress to do so. The court finds that Congress has not granted such authority. The Constitution empowers the Court to make such findings and decisions. See article III, and see Marbury vs. Madison.

Having failed to point to the relevant sections of the Constitution granting the power to the judiciary to tell Congress how to declare war and conduct their business, I consider you to have concede the point that no such section exists, Justice Marshall not withstanding.
