Update: Supreme Court to Hear Indefinite Detention Case, Al-Marri v. Pucciarelli
A small band of lawyers remain diligently at work fighting for a Supreme Court win in Al-Marri v. Pucciarelli that would answer a huge question for our democracy: Whether we are a tyranny or a country where the rule of law, due process, and habeas corpus reign supreme.
Typical of today's Republican Party, the GOP has come down on the anti-liberty side of the argument.
From the Brennan Center:
Question Presented – Does the Executive have legal authority to detain a legal resident arrested in the United States without charge by declaring him an 'enemy combatant'? This case challenges the President’s assertion of unchecked executive detention power over all individuals in the United States.
