Habeas Corpus

Criminal Procedure
Habeas corpus; enemy combatants

Enemy combatants held at Guantanamo may seek a writ of habeas corpus.

Based on Eisentrager, supra, at 777, and the Court's reasoning in its other extraterritoriality opinions, at least three factors are relevant in determining the Suspension Clause's reach: (1) the detainees' citizenship and status and the adequacy of the process through which that status was determined; (2) the nature of the sites where apprehension and then detention took place; and (3) the practical obstacles inherent in resolving the prisoner's entitlement to the writ. Application of this framework reveals, first, that petitioners' status is in dispute: They are not American citizens, but deny they are enemy combatants; and although they have been afforded some process in CSRT proceedings, there has been no Eisentrager-style trial by military commission for violations of the laws of war. Second, while the sites of petitioners' apprehension and detention weigh against finding they have Suspension Clause rights, there are critical differences between Eisentrager's German prison, circa 1950, and the Guantanamo Naval Station in 2008, given the Government's absolute and indefinite control over the naval station. Third, although the Court is sensitive to the financial and administrative costs of holding the Suspension Clause applicable in a case of military detention abroad, these factors are not dispositive because the Government presents no credible arguments that the military mission at Guantanamo would be compromised if habeas courts had jurisdiction. The situation in Eisentrager was far different, given the historical context and nature of the military's mission in post-War Germany. 476 F. 3d 981, reversed and remanded.

Midwest Earthquake

Anyone feel that shit? I am on the top floor of an 8 story building and woke up around 430 am like someone was trying to wake me up. Bed shaking a bit, I thought I was going crazy. It was extremely mild, but I still felt it.
