Arthur Raymond Randolph,
Boumediene v. Bush — Opinion of the Court
“ No court, justice, or judge shall have jurisdiction to hear or consider an application for a writ of habeas corpus filed by or on behalf of an alien detained by the United States who has been determined by the United States to have been properly detained as an enemy combatant or is awaiting such determination. ”
Arthur Raymond Randolph,
Colorado River Indian Tribes v…
(2006)
“ Contrast this provision with § 542.4 (c) of the regulations, which states that if a standard in the Commission's regulations is more stringent than a standard in a tribal-state compact, the Commission's regulation "shall prevail." 25 C.F.R. § 542.4 (c) . There are other indications that Congress intended to leave the regulation of class III gaming to the tribes and the states, including the fact that the Secretary of the Interior - rather than the Commission - approves (or disapproves) tribal-state compacts regulating class III gaming. ”
Arthur Raymond Randolph,
Boumediene v. Bush — Opinion of the Court
“ Because Guantanamo Bay was not part of the sovereign territory of the United States, but rather land the United States leases from Cuba, see Al Odah, 321 F.3d at 1142-43, we determined it was not within the “respective jurisdictions” of the district court or any other court in the United States. We therefore held that § 2241 did not provide statutory jurisdiction to consider habeas relief for any alien – enemy or not – held at Guantanamo. ”
