Rasul v. Bush

Rasul v. Bush

Amici defending the Constitution, the rule of law, and access to justice for “enemy combatants” during the war on terrorism. 

Our amici briefs with a broad coalition in Hamdi v. Rumsfeld and Rasul v. Bush helped win U.S. Supreme Court decisions protecting the Constitution, the rule of law, and access to justice during the war on terrorism.  The Court rejected the Bush Administration’s claim that the President has unlimited, unreviewable power to designate U.S. and foreign citizen “enemy combatants” and hold them indefinitely without any hearing or court review.
