What was the Supreme Court's decision in Hamdi et al. v. Rumsfeld? The president has "a blank check" to deny civil liberties during wartime. Citizens who are detained as enemy combatants have a right to challenge their captivity. Those who are convicted of war crimes automatically revoke their citizenship rights. Those detained at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba must be released "with all deliberative speed." Hamdi could be held indefinitely, as long as the president certified the detention was necessary for national security.

Imagine you are a defense attorney assigned to represent a suspected terrorist who was arrested at LAX upon his arrival from Saudi Arabia. The federal government is insisting that the suspect be tried as an enemy combatant by a military tribunal, but you believe he should be tried as a civilian in a civilian court and be accorded all the constitutional protections guaranteed in the Bill of Rights. What would your arguments be?
