Hamdi v. Rumsfeld (2004)

Read a random definition: conditional release

A quick definition of Hamdi v. Rumsfeld (2004):

Hamdi v. Rumsfeld (2004) was a case in the United States Supreme Court. The case was about a man named Hamdi who was an American citizen and was put into confinement at Guantanamo Bay by the government. The Court ruled that even people who are detained as enemy combatants have the right to challenge their detention before a neutral decision maker. This means that even in times of war, citizens have the right to know why they are being held and have a fair chance to prove that they should not be held.

A more thorough explanation:

Hamdi v. Rumsfeld, 542 U.S. 507, is a U.S. Supreme Court case that established the constitutional right of people detained as enemy combatants to challenge their detention before a neutral decision maker.

For example, in the case, an American citizen named Hamdi was designated as an "enemy combatant" by the government and placed into indefinite confinement at Guantanamo Bay. The Court of Appeals ruled against Hamdi, but the Supreme Court reversed the judgment and held that even citizens declared as "enemy combatant" have due process rights.

This means that even in times of war, the country must uphold its values and the privileges of citizenship. Citizens declared as "enemy combatant" have the right to know the factual basis for their classification and to have a fair opportunity to challenge the government's assertions before a neutral decision maker.

This case is important because it established that even in times of war, the government must respect the constitutional rights of its citizens and provide them with due process. It also highlights the importance of having a neutral decision maker to ensure fairness in legal proceedings.

You locked in at the actual test and that's what matters
exactly. but also, I was so convinced for a long time that I was bad at that LSAT, that for the last two weeks before my 2nd one, I just chilled out, literally meditated and did pottery and hung out with friends. you just gotta take a big deep breath and chill. ur anxiety is a boon not an aid
if you keep telling yourself you're bad at the LSAT, you'll have results that indicate you are bad at the LSAT. i'm not preaching that I'm good at the LSAT either, but I had to remind myself that I was good enough to get a score I would be happy with
locking in on test day is real. I took it in a testing center and was in the zone
im becoming dk bc im posting random yt links

Anyone watch the democratic primaries for NYC mayoral election?
I'm realizing more and more as I draft various personal statements that what I'm really looking for subconsciously is some magic words that enchant whoever reads them into giving me an acceptance. A standard I will never achieve.
Some sense of, "But if they really knew me, and felt what I felt, and understood me fully--they couldn't say no"
