News regarding the February 17th SCOTUS Conference ...

The Court postponed until a hearing on March 28 whether to dismiss a constitutional challenge to the war crimes "military commissions" set up at the Navy prison camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr., took no part in the order, thus indicating he will continue his recusal from the case. The Bush Administration contends that the newly enacted Detainee Treatment Act requires the dismissal of all pending challenges by Guantanamo detainees. (Hamdan v. Rumsfeld, 05-184).

In another war on terrorism case, the Court took no action Tuesday on the appeal by Jose Padilla, a U.S. citizen challenging his capture and long-term detention as an "enemy combatant" (Padilla v. Hanft, 05-533).
