It still makes no sense for the Supremes to enter into this. During WW2, the US had some 450,000+ prisoners of war quartered in prison camps spread throughout the US. I can't find any information about the SC of 1943 having granted any habeas petitions to those prisoners on actual US soil. Are Kennedy, Breyer, Souter, Ginsburg and Stephens so much smarter than Felix Frankfurter, Wm. O. Douglas, and Hugo Black?

I'm thinking - NO.

450,000 = 400,000

Yes, but POW’s actually have legal status under the Geneva Convention. These unsponsored enemy combatants are not covered by the convention because they are rogue terrorists.

This made the Democrats sad so they jumped the terrorists up so they had MORE rights than valid POW’s. That's right, the DEM’s made sure the terrorists were above legitimate soldiers.

All hail the new state of socialism.
