a primary reason is because if you look at the politics of it if you are if you are for closing guantanamo bay that can put you in the camp of being a terrorist sympathizer that it's just as easy as that oh for sure which is just the way the american politics political messaging works i don't i think that they really i want to bring up this viewer comment actually not of your comment this is someone who tweeted back to you party's them and one of your organization's tweets queen n.t.o. says well those are terrorists and they should be locked up for life but we got a viewer comment from someone who spoke on that lawyer says the biggest challenge is that we successfully convince most of the u.s. and the world to the eight hundred we're all terrorists when most were sold for bounty and trying to. educate now which no administration has actually done is near impossible and before you answer that i just wanted to share this viewer comment someone was watching the show live and said this in a former detainee he says in fact we haven't escaped yet i was moved from guantanamo to another one and wo

we are about guantanamo bay, not within the u.s. there are often questions about how the constitutional provisions provide outside the u.s. do they provide outside -- do they provide outside the u.s. at -- do they apply outside the u.s. at all? we have military bases in cuba and everyone admits that cuba is sovereign over the territory. how do we say that the risk of habeas corpus applies? justice kennedy wrote this opinion that was pragmatic to say that maybe not as a de jure matter, but as a de facto matter, the u.s. has control over when time obey -- one time obey -- guantanamo bay and it was a critical point at where we were in the war on terror and the government perspective. the court recognized the ability to challenge detentions and it can't change the cases we would see to come in the d.c. circuit. eventually coming back to the supreme court. this is going to be something where the court would make clear it was going to play a role. >> your thoughts on his opinion? >> it brings a conflict to a number of his principles. we h

even though guantanamo bay is a u.s. military base, it is in cuba, how do you say habeas corpus applies here. i think it is pragmatic to say not as a jury matter but as a defect of matter they have this control over guantanamo bay and are holding these folks there. for the suspension clause to have meaning it needs to apply there. i think it was a pretty credible from the government's perspective, the fact that the court recognized the challenge to seecases we are going to come in d.c. courts and easy circuit of to the supreme court on some issues. but this is going to be something where the court would make clear it was going to play a role. >> your thoughts on his opinion? interesting for justice kennedy because in some case it is a conflict of his core principles. you obviously have liberty. in the private sphere -- you also have the judicial law and obviously that is first and foremost in these cases when you have executives telling you how dangerous and serious these people are. they are being detained for reasons t

administrationsh , detainees in guantanamo bay. the court rolls 5-4 that detainees have the right to appear before a judge and know why they are being detained. kennedy: infidelity to freedom's first principles. chief among these are freedom from arbitrary and unlawful restraint and the personal liberty that is secured by the separation of powers. it is from these principles that the judicial authority to consider petitions for habeas corpus derives. we do not undermine the executive powers of commander in chief. the exercise of this powers is vindicated when confirmed by the judicial branch. the constitution's separation of power structure, exercises of judicial power are as legitimate or necessary as the responsibility to hear challenges to the authority of the executive. some of these petitioners have been in custody for six years with no judicial determination as to the galley of their detention. -- lawfulnesss a of their status, even if they do not detain the belief they seek. our opinion does not address the content of the la

go read the guantanamo cases if you are interested. if not, i will tell you what they said was important. it is what sanders said. this is the opposite of cicero. he said the constitution does not write the president a blank check, not even in time of war.

we're talking about guantanamo bay which is not within the states. there are often questions with how do constitutional provisions the united states, do they apply outside the united states at all. indian bay in cuba where e is sovereign over the territory. justice kennedy wrote this opinion which was fairly maybe not as a jury matter, but a de facto u.s. has this control over indian bay and is holding these focus there and suspension clause do have meaning, it needs to apply there. in termscritical point of where everything was happening on the war on tror. court t that the recognized this ability to challenge detentions really that we are to ee in d.c. court and circuit, coming back to the supreme court on issues. this is something that the court make clear to play a role. >> your thoughts. >> an interesting case for kennedy. it brings into conflict a number principals. also have the judicial role. that is first and foremost in executives are telling you how deadly and for us these people are being detained, some are lassified and can't be in open

cases where we did decide for the person that was being held in captivity in guantanamo, four cases, four decisions against the president, four decisions for captive, why don't you decide? because we don't know the answers, because it has to go slowly. you have to learn something. that's the reality, try business, try. the environment, try disease, try, try, try, it's worldwide. and we don't participate, hey, the world will go along without us and then we will have to -- we will have to live with the results. so i want to show what specifically that means in the cases that i've seen come to us and they've tripled, quadrupled in numbers on cases where you have to know what's going on abroad. i'm not saying what policy in other places should be, i'm just telling people what our cases look like and that's why i brought that up. >> i do want to get to your questions in about 10 minutes, a few things questionsa since you brought up. i wonder where you think the thought process moving on civil rights and civil liberties, you mentioned the case mentioned in travel ban case, the opinion sayi
