Supreme Court rejects blank check for terrorism detentions
The Supreme Court ruled that the war on terror does not allow the government to detain US citizens and foreign suspects in legal limbo. It sided with Yaser Hamdi’s right to challenge his detention in federal court and allowed nearly 600 detainees at Guantanamo Bay to contest treatment in American courts. Judges rejected the administration's claim of inherent executive authority to detain people without due process.

Justices Won't Hear Case on Disabled Moviegoer Rights
The Supreme Court declined to hear whether disabled moviegoers must receive better seating than front row options in many new stadium style theaters. The Bush administration urged acceptance of rulings against two theater companies while reviewing federal guidance. Critics say wheelchair areas are far from screens, while theaters warn remodeling would cost hundreds of millions and unnecessary since front seats offer clear views.
