In this blog from the supreme court, being discusses is the Al-Marrie v. Wright case. The President wants the power to set up military tribunals because there would not be a jury and he could condemn who he wanted to. The Bush Administration is using "President shall be commander and Chief of the Army and Navy" clause to justify him making military tribunals. Congress is supposed to set up military tribunals because "Congress shall have the power...to define and punish...offense against the law of nations." clause to justify why they should set up the military tribunals.
I chose this blog because it is straight from the supreme court correspondents and it is the head of the Judaical branch. This blog is from the people within the supreme court and the people that write this blog are lawyers and law professors. There are a lot of other blogs on this site as well. It is a very good site if someone has to do research on the supreme court.
