Lawyers--ptoooie

Defense lawyers to challenge Guantánamo trials - International Herald Tribune

Among many other issues, defense lawyers say military commission prosecutions constitute a denial of equal protection of the laws because only foreigners may be prosecuted under the Military Commissions Act

The Supreme Court didnt make these people Americans??? Or did They??
