” Nowhere in the legislation does it make exemptions for CONUS.”

I am going to try this one more time: there is a case (Johnson) that gives CONUS detainees access to file writs in Federal. NO MATTER WHAT THIS BILL SAYS. This bill cannot overturn SCOTUS. McCain and you should know that. McCain was stupid to think he can just write a bill that takes away constitutional rights. Any person in CONUS has access to file a Writ. PERIOD.

Your unsourced claim does not supersede the congressional legislation that I had cited earlier. You’ll note that the congressional legislation would not have passed as those who opposed it would have simply cited the case you cite, thereby ruling it unconstitutional. The legislation does not exempt those taken into the U.S. And the U.S. has held military tribunals and subsequent executions for foreign born unlawful combatants before within the U.S. boarders.

P.S. Who do you want to win, Obama or McCain?
