“What does this have to do with the SCOTUS decision and McCain’s disagreement with it? “

The reason we had GITMO was to avoid Habeas Corpus and all that entails for the terrorists. The SCOTUS grants Habeas Corpus. Closing GITMO does the same thing. Once they hit US soil they are subject to US Constitutional protection. I think the case is Jackson v something. I could look it up.

Correct me if I’m wrong but doesn’t Habeas Corpus mean, ‘produce the body?’
