A federal appeals court has dealt a major setback to the Bush administration over its power to jail U.S. citizens and legal residents without charge. The court ruled the Bush administration cannot label U.S. residents “enemy combatants” and jail them indefinitely without charge. The ruling came in the case of the only person still held as an enemy combatant on U.S. soil — Ali al-Marri, who was arrested five years ago at his home in Peoria, Illinois. Writing for the majority, Judge Diana Gribbon Motz said authorizing indefinite military detention “would have disastrous consequences for the Constitution — and the country.” She continued: “We refuse to recognize a claim to power that would so alter the constitutional foundations of our Republic.” We’ll have more on the ruling after headlines.
