anon doing some heavy reading this morning and thought I would share some info because I think DJT is going to invoke Alien Enemies Act today.
As CiC, he can set up a Military commission to try aliens and those who aid. Terrorists and those who aid and other belligerents.
The DC Circuit Court and DC Appeals Court as well as SCOTUS can review final decisions that come out of this Commission.
Hegseth would be the person to establish the Commission.
Expect legal challenges but The Military Commission Act looks pretty solid so far ( I'm on page 38 of 41 )
Bush signed it in 2006 then BHO signed it in 2009
Some Constitutional protections are provided but not all. 5th against self incrimination does but speedy trial does not.
Last night DJT said his team was looking into the legality of US Citizens being jailed in El Salvador. If legal, it would be under this Act.
Here is chapter 47 ( ironically ) There may be some Q drops associated with these sections so I will include part of the index.
As with every legal document…DEFINITIONSare the first and most important part to read and understand. If you try to use the common use of the word as a legal definition, you are more likely to be wrong in your analysis.
