You think no US court has jurisdiction over our US base at Gitmo!? Not even the Supreme Court!? What dream world do you live in? RASUL V. BUSH

This decision has no standing. Congress revised the laws as a result of this. Federal courts have no jurisdiction over habeas corpus of the Gitmo detainees. Judge Kennedy also tried to assert that Gitmo is US territory but considering the terminology of the lease, his opinion has no standing.

Laws which can be ruled unconstitutional by the SUPREME COURT!
