When Q said to listen carefully to the dialog between Senator Graham and Judge Kavanaugh he wanted us to know the 'Hamdi' Case:
Excerpt from and article (https://www.nytimes.com/2004/01/09/national/supreme-court-expands-review-of-enemy-combatant-cases.html) to get you Anons started:
"On Wednesday, the Bush administration reasserted its broad authority to declare an American citizen to be an enemy combatant, and it suggested that the justices hear the Hamdi and Padilla cases at the same time.
The government said in its brief that the Second Circuit ruling in the Padilla case was "fundamentally at odds" with court precedent on presidential powers, which the courts have historically given greater deference to in matters of national security. The decision "undermines the president's constitutional authority to protect the nation," Solicitor General Theodore B. Olson wrote.
The justices have already agreed to look at a another case involving detentions in the campaign against terrorism, decided on Dec. 18 by the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, based in San Francisco. That court declared that the administration's policy of imprisoning some 660 noncitizens captured in the Afghan war on a naval base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, without access to United States legal protections was unconstitutional as well as a violation of international law.
The Hamdi case comes to the Supreme Court from the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, based in Richmond, Va. That tribunal, widely considered the most conservative federal appeals court, ruled in July that the president does have the authority to detain indefinitely as an enemy combatant a United States citizen captured on the battlefield and to deny him access to a lawyer.
Mr. Padilla, the defendant in the case from the Second Circuit, was arrested in the United States. He is a former Chicago gang member and has been held in the same brig as Mr. Hamdi."
