This is the kind of crap that happens when you don’t bother declaring war. If there’s no state of war then of course the courts are going to get involved on issues of prisoners and detainment.

There's a state of war ~ ever since we were attacked!

That's not part of the problem. The USSC majority didn't care if there was a war or not, they simply extended their authority beyond that provided for by the Constitution.

Eventually we'll have to resolve this issue with the Court the way the citizens of Venice dealt with a wayward Doge.

BTW, it only happened once. All future Doges got the message.
