Court Grants Guantanamo Bay Detainee Case
The Supreme Court granted three cases yesterday. One of those cases (Kiyemba, et al., v. Obama, et al. No. 08-1234) will decide whether courts possess the authority to release Guantanamo Bay detainees to live on United States soil.
Additionally, the Court vided two cases together for argument. The cases Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha v. Regal-Beloit, No. 08-1553 and Union Pacific Railroad v. Regal-Beloit, No. 08-1554, will be argued before the term ends next year.
