Boumediene Out: MCA Bars Jurisdiction over Guantanamo Detainees
The long-awaited decision by the D.C. Circuit in the consolidated Guantanamo appeals is finally out today.
In a divided 59-page opinion, the court, unsurprisingly, holds that (1) the MCA applies to the Guantanamo detainees; and (2) the detainees are not protected by the Suspension Clause.
There will be much more to say later. For now, let me just say this: Next stop, Supreme Court.
