bush guilty of ignoring Ex parte Milligan (1866)
Edited on Wed Jan-31-07 10:34 PM by ProudDad
Interesting SCOTUS decision from 1866...

"In Ex parte Milligan (1866), the Supreme Court ruled that a prisoner's ability to challenge his or her detention could only be suspended for a brief and finite period of time, and only if the situation compelled it. The Court also ruled that military tribunals generally lack jurisdiction over civilians who are not connected with or engaged in armed conflict."

On Edit: Interesting PBS Series "The Supreme Court" beginning tonight...
