Last year I blogged extensively about the Fourth Circuit’s panel decision in the Al-Marri enemy combatant case (see here, here, and here). The full Fourth Circuit has just handed down its en banc decision. At first blush, it seems like a mess: there’s a one-page per curiam opinion announcing the result followed by more than 200 pages of ensuing concurring and dissenting opinions. (Egads, do we really have to go through all that?) Thanks to Ben Winograd for the link.
