I don't think the SCOTUS will ever review the military detention unless it's faced with a very similar case (US citizen captured on American soil held by US military). It's punted this case every chance it's gotten, so why in the world would it suddenly find its backbone and take it when it doesn't have to?

If it agrees with the Circuit Court below, all it has to do is deny cert.
