Obama's new military commissions

An article summarizing some of the changes and the flaws.

In 2006, the Supreme Court declared unconstitutional the Military Tribunals set up by the Bush administration to try terror suspects at Guantánamo. Congress then passed the Military Commissions Act (MCA) of 2006, "To authorize trial by military commission for violations of the law of war." But the MCA was also declared unconstitutional two years later. Now, it is possible that Obama's new 2009 amended version of the MCA will also be ruled to be unconstitutional.
