What a bunch of collective do nothings!

One of the problems here is that probably nobody on the Hill knew for 100% sure what was needed legally. Who foresaw that the Congress needed to pass a statute that said, "the President of the United States is explicitly authorized to form military tribunals, and can deviate from normal courts-martial procedure because of XYZ"?

That's a bit of a nit-picking nicety in hindsight, IMO.

If we had to wait this long for clarity in WWII, the war would've been over by now and the whole thing would be moot!
