Actually, it’s Congress who gets the blame for this.

How do you figure?

The SCOTUS had the opportunity to emphatically and clearly separate the Law of War from both the Judicial and the Legislative branches' domain (except for declaration and funding, per the War Powers Act for the Legislative) but they did not.

The Constitution gives the Judicial branch no authority whatsoever with regard to war.

That this court is even hearing this case is evidence that the Constitution is almost entirely ignored by our courts now.
