The stage is set

 

Kavanaugh is not the only Supreme Court justice who would agree with this “long settled law of the land”

 

THE ROLE OF MILITARY

TRIBUNALS UNDER

THE LAW OF WAR

 

2 The Supreme Court’s opinion noted that

American citizenship

was no bar to trial by military commission of “offenders against the law of war,” and it mentioned that the President, as Commander-in- Chief, has “the power to wage war which Congress has declared.”

 

5 …the Court reaffirmed the principle established by Quirin that the Constitution, in Article I, § 8, cl. 10, provides

authority for use of military

commissions to punish

violations of the law of war as

“Offences against the Law of

Nations.”

 

6 The Supreme Court soon reaffirmed in two other cases the authority of military tribunals established under the law of war. The first was Johnson v. Eisentrager, which concerned a German defendant who, after Germany surrendered but before the end of hostilities between the United States and Japan, had engaged in conduct in China for which he was tried there by an American military commission.

The Department of Justice wiped text messages between former FBI employees Lisa Page and Peter Strozk from their cell phones before the Office of the Inspector General could review them, a new report from the DOJ watchdog reveals.
