...Now that the U.S. Supreme Court says it will hear two cases involving detainees taken during the war on terrorism, several groups are asking to be heard. One of them is a group that normally takes on religious liberty cases. The American Center for Law and Justice says it plans to file an amicus brief in support of the Department of Justice in the case involving detainees being held in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Jay Sekulow of the ACLJ says President Bush acted responsibly in taking the prisoners that are suspected of being terrorists and in order to protect the safety and security of America. He also questions the right of the U.S. courts to intervene in this issue. He claims they do not have jurisdiction. |
