It is under our military jurisdiction. There are no courts there except for military courts. No law but military law

Well that places it under US jurisdiction. That was the threshold that apparently needed to be crossed.

And once more, where is Scalia factually wrong?

There are only two choices here Jackson, either Scalia is factually wrong in that paragraph or you're a liberal pimping for the liberals on the court.

Your move becuase the lease agreement is clear, GITMO is sovereign to Cuba.

I don’t believe you are correct in lumping US jurisdiction as being the same as Military jurisdiction.
Military bases are subject to the UCMJ not the US legal system.
Just because it fits your argument doesn’t make it so.
