Sweet. How long before American born "domestic terrorists" end up getting the same treatment.

Is anyone actually surprised that one <unaccountable> branch of the fed gov is effectively protecting the actions of another branch of the same?

Its unrealistic to expect that the fed gov can put checks on itself in any meaningful way which is why Article V is there

From here on in - anybody who tells me " they're fighting to defend our freedoms" - is going to get a kick in the nuts.

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

Separation of powers under the United States Constitution

It seems the appeals court overturned the injunction not on the merits of the case, but on procedural grounds: Specifically "standing".

The case was brought by "a group of journalists, scholars and activists". These journalists, scholars, and activists are not being harmed by these indefinite detentions, so have no standing to challenge them.

Disclaimer: I haven't read any more than the article referenced.

Just remember Napolitano said the all Veterans were potential terrorists, how long until they drop the potential part of that and then we can be put away

"Standing" is complete bullshit when you're fighting the constitutionality of the law. The very idea one must "commit a crime" in order to challenge a law threatening ones freedom is ludicrous on its face.

"You can't challenge being purged through concentration camps unless you first let yourself be purged."

 

[economist]

It's the unassailable law: All of the citizens with standing can't be found.

I just read this again, and:
