Article III Section 2 did not come up.

I cannot find anywhere that the dissent raises the issue, and surely if they felt the majority were in fact vulnerable here they would have blazoned it.

Since islamic dirtbags have full rights to our civilian courts, does it not follow that our own servicemen deserve the same?

At this point most everybody has accepted the role the the Supreme Court has asserted for itself, the fact that the constitution does not give the Court that authority is deemed irrelevant, but if the words of the constitution are irrelevant then what is the point of pretending that we live in a constitutional republic.

In 1866 Congress used Article III Section 2 to forbid the Supreme Court jurisdiction over habeas corpus in the southern states. That is the only time that I know of where congress limited court jurisdiction but the conditions are parallel, at that time the court backed off, it would be interesting to see what would happen now.
