The importance seems to be that it' seen as a slap to the administration for overstepping its authority and trampling on rights. You can't arrest, label, and detain indefinitely and not allow some access to the courts, and also it would have been a nice idea to get some others to go along with you-- like Congress-- before you decide rule of law doesn't apply. (I was listening to some law professor speak.)

So I am guessing that this isn't really about the detainees, as much as it's about perceived abuse of power. That ol' Lone Cowboy spirit just keeps getting them in trouble.

Access to the courts is only to challenge their status as detainees, not for a trial of guilt or innocence of some crime, no?

No. Pandora's box has now been open. You will see appeal after appeal tying up the courts on this.
