A question for the Court, in a noteworthy case | SCOTUSblog
In a rare move, the Fifth Circuit Court on Thursday sent to the Supreme Court, with a plea for an answer, a legal question on the time allowed for federal prosecution of an old kidnapping case.  The answer, the Circuit Court said, could shut down federal prosecutions of perhaps two dozen old “cold cases” involving civil rights violations. Because the Circuit Court, sitting en banc, had divided 9-9 on the issue, it could not itself give a definitive answer.  Thus, the full Circuit Court, by a 12-6 vote... (more)

U.S. agrees to release Afghan detainee | SCOTUSblog
Averting for now a possible constitutional showdown, the Obama Administration urged a federal judge on Wednesday to order the release — within a few weeks — of a young Afghan detainee at Guantanamo Bay, with a transfer to the Afghan government.  It asked for more time to notify Congress, and time to arrange the transfer.  In a new filing in U.S. District Court, along with a proposed court order, the Administration said it was not contesting the judge’s power to order the release of Mohammed Jawad. The f... (more)

Constitutional clash over detainee? | SCOTUSblog
Urging a federal judge to order the immediate release of a young prisoner from Guantanamo Bay, his lawyers warned on Tuesday of a constitutional confrontation if the Obama Administration resists such an order.  In the new filing by attorneys for Mohammed Jawad, an Afghan national, they argued: “Any assertion by the Executive that this Court somehow lacks the power to order his release and return to Afghanistan would raise serious separation of powers concerns…”   (The filing was accompanied by a decla...

Will it be illegal to assault a service member? | CGBlog.org
Assaulting a service member may soon be punishable by way of a 10 year prison sentence. If HR 2647 (National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010) is passed the new amendment (S 1390) will place into law provisions making those who choose to assault or destroy property owned by a service member think twice. NavyTimes sums up the provisions stating- Under the provision, simple assault or destruction of property valued at $500 or less, or an attempt to damage property of a service member or mi... (more)

Might it happen? Slaughterhouse overruled? | SCOTUSblog
For generations, lawyers, judges and constitutional scholars across the spectrum have debated whether the time would come for the Supreme Court to cast aside one of history’s most controversial rulings — the 5-4 decision in 1873 in the Slaughterhouse Cases.  In that ruling, the dissenters claimed — and modern critics still complain — that the Court had made the Fourteenth Amendment’s Privileges and Immunities Clause into “a vain and idle enactment.” Despite a brief revival of the Clause as a c...
