Law review article on the constitutionality of the military commission

[mikegriffith1]

To me this seems like an obvious, open-and-shut case: You don't haul civilians into a military court when civilian courts are open and functioning. I mean, other than the handful of true believers in the military tribunal, are there any serious scholars who still argue that the tribunal was legitimate, much less fair and just?

Even back in the days when I accepted the traditional version of the assassination, I recognized that the conspirators did not receive a fair trial and that they should have been tried in a civilian court.

Of course, we now know that the military tribunal's prosecutors used a hefty amount of bought or coerced perjury and suppressed exculpatory evidence and other evidence that did not fit their narrative.
