My speciality is California civil procedure.

Note that this is the first time the federal judiciary has EVER asserted jurisdiction over enemy prisoners of war. We held scores of thousands of German POW's in the U.S. during World War Two, and Confederate POW's during the Civil War who were U.S. citizens, and they did not have access to the federal courts.

This decision is plain nuts.

See, I not only see where the decision is coming from, I basically agree with it.

But, perhaps this is a case of where a little legal knowledge is a dangerous thing. Give me a chance to get a legal background, and I'd be less tentative.
