1975 United States Supreme Court case

Schlesinger v. Councilman, 420 U.S. 738 (1975), was a case decided by the Supreme Court of the United States .

The case was a key part of government arguments in the 2006 case of _Hamdan v. Rumsfeld _, defending its contention that the Supreme Court should not have heard the case, because Hamdan was still being processed by a military tribunal court in Guantanamo Bay.

Both the majority opinion by Justice John Paul Stevens and the dissenting argument of Justice Antonin Scalia referenced the case.
