National Defense Authorization Act Ruling
Prof. Kerr, in his usual passive aggressive way, is confused. But, the ruling answers at least some of his confusion, including noting detention here is harsh enough that it is as if it is "criminal" and the Icelandic plaintiff has been subpoenaed and has other reasons to have standing. Anyway, as in the past, the government left themselves open with broad claims. It's just a preliminary injunction anyhow.
