* Kiyemba v. Obama (08-1234) (cert. granted)
The Supreme Court today granted cert in Kiyemba v. Obama (no. 08-1234), which raises the question whether a judge may order the government to bring a detainee into the United States if the government no longer asserts detention authority over an individual and if after some period of time the government appears unable to identify an appropriate foreign country to accept custody of that person.
