But the problem is the jurisdiction and the rules which were not properly laid out. We are calling then 'enemy combatants', NOT prisoners of war. They are in legal limbo, and according to the Constitution, every 'person' shall have the right to face his accuser. They have not had a military tribunal, either, because they have not been identified as such individuals who are 'entitled' to one. I DO NOT AGREE, but apparently, it is the law, and I blame the Administration this time for dropping the ball.

They haven't had a military tribunal YET. Major distinction.

I have to believe that the administration lawyers looked over all this long before the 9th thought it had jurisdiction to rule.

The fact is that it doesn't. The only reason a case was made there is because those bringing it knew the 9th would rule in their favor.

If I'm not mistaken this has all already been taken up on the east coast and the courts quickly (and correctly) shot it down since they had no jurisdiction.

This is just the 9th legislating from the bench and it will be overturned just like all their other idiotic rulings.
