First, noted that it has been tradition for 200 years that enemy combatants have NOT had recourse to civilian courts.
Graham notes that SCOTUS can receive cert pertitions from the DC Court (not the same as getting Cert. from the loser).
Specter says that SCOTUS has no jurisdiction based on the plain language of the amendment (DCCA has exclusive jurisdiction), and Specter has an objection in general to what is referred to as "court stripping." Specter is a real problem, IMO.
I hope this amendment passes. It is better than status quo, i.e., it strips a right of appeal in civilian courts that SCOTUS has granted to enemy combatants.
After this amendment vote, on to the entire bill, as amended, then done for the day.
