Detainees case set Dec. 5.

SCOTUSblog:



The Supreme Court will hear the two consolidated cases testing the legal rights of Guantanamo Bay detainees on Wednesday, Dec. 5, at 10 a.m. — the only case scheduled for that day. The Court on Monday released its argument calendar for the December sitting, which actually begins on Monday, Nov. 26 (the PDF of the calendar can be downloaded here).

Wednesday, Dec. 5


Boumediene v. Bush (06-1195) and Al Odah v. U.S. (06-1196) — whether Guantanamo Bay detainees have a constitutional or common law right to challenge their detention through habeas claims in U.S. federal courts (consolidated, one hour hearing).

Justice Thomas has already been told how to vote so all he'll have to do is sit there and look stupid. These Detainees will have to wait until we get a real President before they can get Justice. Justice Roberts might be busy with his girlfriend and Alito is well in the men's room looking for sex.
