He has not had his hearing. Until he does, he has been denied his legal right.

This dates back to 1215, for God's sake.

"Or, as a ACLU devotee, does the fact that you know he has exercised his habeas corpus right not matter to your complaint that he has been denied it? "

How can this be done I wondered?
By claiming that the court must grant the petition! Of course!

I already knew that the ACLU tells us the constitution says that anyone who petitions for a writ of habeas corpus must be granted it and released.

Neither should I be surprised that they think it is the Executive Branch that is at fault if a court doesn't grant it quick enough!

Oh, and the Justice department filed it's response on the H-C petition June 26, and an Amica Curie brief has been filed this month- that might explain why the court is still considering the matter.

The Anti-Constitution League of the Unconcerned with reality just cracks me up.
