6. I'm listening
Katyal explaining why the conspiracy charge is bogus and rejected by international law, as well as us federal code under the war crimes act of 1996

the justices seem to be wanting to allow a lower court to address the issue and only come back to them for appeals

Katyal is having to explain to the justices the difference between aiding and abetting and conspiracy.

quoting the President as claiming he does not have to abide by the UCMJ (Bush said this)

Comparison between Bush's military commissions and Court Martials
http://www.hrw.org/press/2001/12/miltribchart1217.htm

The issue is - and the truth of the matter is

Bush is charging Hamdan under laws of warfare - so he's entitled to full geneva rights...BUT Bush, the piece of shit, wants the rights allowed Hamdan denied with his military commission

Katyal touched on the illegality of naming someone an enemy non-combatant without tribunal first(to determine their status)....Bush only allowed a military tribunal AFTER people were named enemy non combatants (to review their status) - which is against international law and the UCMJ.
