Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Supreme Court's ruling in Boumediene v. Bush in 2008 struck down parts of the Military Commissions Act and held that detainees at Guantanamo Bay have the constitutional right to habeas corpus, a fundamental right that cannot be taken away by Congress. This decision expanded the protections afforded to detainees and limited the government's ability to indefinitely detain individuals without due process.
