The Hamdi and Padilla Cases
Start:  Monday, April 26, 2004  9:30 AM
End:  Monday, April 26, 2004  11:00 AM
Location:  Wohlstetter Conference Center, Twelfth Floor, AEI
1150 Seventeenth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036
Directions to AEI

Two days before the Supreme Court hears arguments in Hamdi v. Rumsfeld and Rumsfeld v. Padilla, AEI will host a discussion of the legal and policy issues raised by detaining under military law U.S. citizens who take up arms against the United States. The discussion will be led by AEI adjunct fellows Bradford Berenson and Richard Klingler, whose organization, Citizens for the Common Defence, has filed a brief with the Court, and Adam Charnes, counsel of record on the organization's brief. Berenson, Klingler, and Charnes will argue that the president has power as commander-in-chief to detain and interrogate all enemy fighters, regardless of citizenship, and that the role of the federal courts in reviewing the detention of U.S. citizen enemies is a limited one.
