PBC News & Comment: Exclusive!! Attorney Carl Mayer Files NDAA Appeal at Supreme Court

by Peter B. Collins on December 12, 2012

Carl Mayer, attorney who won ruling that NDAA detention clause is unconstitutional, files new appeal with US Supreme Court today… Great confusion remains from the detention clause 1021-b of the 2012 Defense budget bill, which permits detention of citizens and residents without charge or trial, at a military base, on suspicion of terrorist connections.  Mayer explains that on October 2, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals issued a temporary stay on the injunction issued Sept. 12.  Today, he filed an emergency brief with Justice Ginsburg to lift that stay.  The full interview will be released tomorrow.
