Answer to Question 1

These are issues of national security that are within the ambit of the military and its commander in chief, or do issues of due process bring the courts into play where they no longer defer to the executive branch. Discuss recent cases of the U.S. Supreme Court, including the Boumediene decision. Should the courts become involved, or are these military issues? What about acts that occur on U.S. soil by the government? What about acts against citizens, or non-citizens?

It may take the form of bioterrorism, aiding terrorists, financing terrorists, and the use of weapons of mass destruction, which are all separate federal crimes.
