9. The Congress doesn't get to decide anymore than they would if you were accused of an offense.
Congress is not empowered to hold anyone without charges, to order a military tribunal, or to dictate indefinite detention.
Congress doesn't get to say that you don't get a trial because they don't want to pay for it. The power of the purse does not supersede natural and enumerated rights and there is absolutely no such thing as an extra-constitutional authority under our limited form of government.
