The decision: http://www.politechbot.com/docs/guantanamo.decision.022202.pdfThe case is Coalition of Clergy v. Bush, Civil No. 02-570 (C.D. Cal. Feb. 21, 2002). Relevant excerpt:
Having reviewed and considered all the arguments and conducted additional research on its own, the Court rules as follows: 1. Petitioners do not have standing to assert claims on behalf of the detainees. 2. Even if petitioners did have standing, this court lacks jurisdiction to entertain those claims. 3. No federal court would have jurisdiction over petitioners' claims, so there is no basis to transfer this matter to another federal district court. 4. The petition must be dismissed.
