I don't think that's precisely right.

Jurisdiction (which court a case can be brought in) depends on many things.

Usually, the plaintiff's or defendant's residence or usual place of business.

The place where a crime took place.

Other activities that tie a defendant to a certain place.

 

I am wondering, still not resolved by a lawfag, if the capturing of evidence by NSA data center located in Utah would provide grounds for Utah federal jurisdiction.

Alternatively, if illegal surveillence by defendants, via wiretaps based in Utah, provides such grounds.

 

Finally, if these cases are tried by Military Commission, all bets are off about the usual reasons for jurisdiction. I'll bet the Fox analyst did not consider the law of military tribunals for enemy combatants.

Yes but a defendant can argue it's the wrong federal court with a motion to dismiss based on faulty jurisdiction, and/or attempt to have the case moved to a different federal court jurisdiction, causing a delay.

 

>>5600236 Not a lawfag. We'll let a lawfag weigh in. Have some background, but not enough to answer confidently on this.
