Indefinite detention for US civilians in your Congress?

[Cainad (dec.)]

So this basically exists to get around the "inconvenience" created by Hamdi v. Rumsfeld, from my semi-informed viewpoint. Is that correct?

No. It is the codification of what has been occurring under both the Bush AND Obama administrations for around a decade.

Right, but the plurality opinion of the Supreme Court in Hamdi said that the AUMF did not empower the government to indefinitely detain U.S. citizens without allowing them to contest their status as "enemy combatants." Essentially, they said that the AUMF did not count as a Congressional suspension of habeas corpus.

So they just now got around to putting into law what they've been doing anyway, as you said.


Cainad,
took a US Constitutional Law course this past semester, and may be focusing on certain details to the exclusion of others
