A question for lawfags.. Someone mentioned Judge K and the watch..

Did the president and military have to make sure the SCOTUS would support the decision in Ex Parte Quirin? Hence all the drama between Graham and the cited 3 cases Judge K confirmed were correct in his answers.

Ex Parte Quirin, case in which the U.S. Supreme Court on July 31, 1942, unanimously ruled to allow the military, instead of civil courts, to try foreign nationals from enemy countries caught entering the United States to commit destructive acts.

In a unanimous but highly debated decision, the Supreme Court ruled that the detainees did not have a right to a trial by jury. The Germans were convicted by a military tribunal, and six were executed. The others served almost six years in prison before being deported to Germany. Some legal scholars claimed that the ruling in Ex Parte Quirin ran counter to Ex Parte Milligan (1866), which prohibited military courts from trying enemy nationals if civilian courts were available.
