1 00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:07,560 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Bloomberg Law Podcast. I'm June Grosso. Every 2 00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:10,440 Speaker 1: day we bring you insight and analysis into the most 3 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,440 Speaker 1: important legal news of the day. You can find more 4 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:18,000 Speaker 1: episodes of the Bloomberg Law Podcast on Apple Podcasts, SoundCloud, 5 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 1: and on Bloomberg dot com slash podcasts. It may seem 6 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,520 Speaker 1: like deja vu, the US government arguing in court that 7 00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,640 Speaker 1: it can detain a US citizen indefinitely as an enemy 8 00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:31,600 Speaker 1: combatant without giving him access to an attorney that he's 9 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 1: asked for. A DC federal judge said the government was 10 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 1: trying to do an end raun around the right to 11 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 1: habeas corpus, a basic constitutional right to challenge detention. The 12 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 1: unidentified American has been held by the US military in 13 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 1: a rock since he was captured in Syria in September 14 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,519 Speaker 1: after allegedly fighting on behalf of isis joining me is 15 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 1: William Banks, a professor at Syracuse University Law School. Bill 16 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 1: set the stage for this week's hearing by telling us 17 00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,120 Speaker 1: how Judge Tanya Chutkin has had to use court or 18 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 1: is to get basic information from the government. It really 19 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 1: is quite an extraordinary situation. Uh. This this man, we're 20 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: calling him John Doe because we do not know his 21 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 1: identity has been held by the governments. In September, he 22 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 1: either surrendered or was apprehended by the Syrian Democratic forces 23 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 1: and then handed over to the United States and taken 24 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 1: to Iraq, where he has been ever since. The government 25 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 1: has not let us know his name, the circumstances of 26 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: his capture or or turning himself in, or his current status, 27 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 1: except to say that he's being held. Uh. It's it's 28 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,959 Speaker 1: certainly possible that the government has the legal right to 29 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: detain this man. The Supreme Court held in the two 30 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 1: thousand four decision called Hamdi versus runs But that the 31 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 1: government may have a right to detain even a citizen 32 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 1: combatant to his fighting for an enemy in an armed 33 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: conflict against the United States. In that case, the citizen 34 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 1: is not different than any other enemy if he's bringing 35 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: arms against the United States. What's so extraordinary here is 36 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: that the government has not afforded this young man an 37 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 1: opportunity to contest the circumstances of his detention, that is, 38 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: to have his day in court. The a c o 39 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: U has filed a habeas corpus petition on behalf of 40 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: this unidentified American. What were the Justice Department's arguments against 41 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 1: that petition. The arguments really weren't legal arguments at all. 42 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: They simply argued that that it wasn't time yet, that 43 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: they were still trying to determine what to do with them. 44 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: There of course various possibilities here, but the possibilities are 45 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 1: are stretching credibility now that it's been more than twelve 46 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,679 Speaker 1: weeks since he's been detained. One is that they were 47 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: trying to amass evidence with which they could charge him 48 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: in a regular civilian or in the United States. As 49 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 1: as many of your listeners know, the United States routine 50 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:09,079 Speaker 1: brings captured alleged terrorists to the United States to stand trial, 51 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: and that system works quite well. The second possibility is 52 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: that they are trying to arrange for transfer of him 53 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: to a third country somewhere that might take him. With this, 54 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: with this man's consent, even though he is the United 55 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:27,079 Speaker 1: States citizen, that could be taking a lengthier period of time. 56 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,800 Speaker 1: And the third possibility is less favorable for the government, 57 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: which is that they simply don't know what to do 58 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: with this guy, whether to prosecute him, let him go, 59 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: which has yet another possibility, or transferring somewhere. So the 60 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: government admits that the detainee asked for a lawyer before 61 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: he would go forward with questioning. At that point, wasn't 62 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: the government required to provide him with a lawyer, which 63 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: they don't want to give him through the a c 64 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: l U. Apparently, well, that's the standard interpretation that most 65 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 1: of us would have full or what we call the 66 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 1: Miranda rights. When you rehim his rights and law enforcement interrogation, 67 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: he told you have a right to an attorney, but 68 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: that right actually doesn't detach until the government moves to 69 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 1: bring a case against you. So he's in a limbo. 70 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,720 Speaker 1: Now he's being held. He's not being prosecuted, he's simply 71 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 1: being held. So following the miranda principle, he doesn't have 72 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 1: that right to the attorney until the government takes the 73 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: next step. And it's it's art of circular because they say, 74 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 1: we're not ready to take the next step yet. Now 75 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: let's discuss what is settled law and what is not. 76 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: You mentioned the Supreme Court's ruling in hom D v. 77 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:44,359 Speaker 1: Rumsfeld that the government can detain US citizens as enemy combatants, 78 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: but they have the right to challenge their detention before 79 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:51,159 Speaker 1: a neutral arbiter. What are the questions that are still open? 80 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: How long is too long? And who decides right? Well, 81 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 1: Judge Chutkin in the District Court in Washington will make 82 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: that decision preliminary early, you know. We we hope and 83 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 1: expect that she could be making that any day now, 84 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: ordering the government to provide him a council who could 85 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 1: then bring his habeas corpus case in a federal court 86 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 1: in the United States. As I said a moment ago. 87 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 1: Once once that case is brought, the government may well 88 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,159 Speaker 1: win it. But the important principle, of course, is to 89 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: reinforce his right to have his day in court. He 90 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 1: had things that are not settled yet. As of course 91 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,559 Speaker 1: what he was doing, what he did that would would 92 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:38,119 Speaker 1: justify his detention. Uh. Sometimes somebody captured is or turned 93 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 1: himself in is not necessarily culpable as as a member 94 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: of an art force of fighting against the United States. 95 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: They are facts to be heard here. Bill. Is this 96 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: the same issue that came up under the George W. 97 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 1: Bush administration or is it different? Well, it's it is 98 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: the same in the sense that we're in the Homby 99 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: case at someone who was allegedly her originally rather thought 100 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: to be an alien fighting for the Taliban who was 101 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: sent to Guantanamo Bay, and after some period of time 102 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 1: it was discovered that Hammy had actually was born in 103 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 1: the United States, so he was transferred to a military 104 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: break in South Carolina rather than held at Guantanamo. Guantanamo 105 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 1: was reserved for non citizen aliens who were unlawful combatants 106 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 1: picked up in the soapballed war and tear. So it's 107 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: it's it's a little bit alike, but somewhat different because 108 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,840 Speaker 1: this this individual, of course, was presented to the United 109 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: States UH in a combat zone and being held still 110 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,839 Speaker 1: in what you could call a combat zone by the 111 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:51,280 Speaker 1: US officials. Judge Chukins said, what the government suggests is 112 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 1: an end run around the right to habeas He wants counsel, 113 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 1: which is an assertion and request that I don't think 114 00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: I can't ignore. Is she signaling pretty clearly how she's 115 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,039 Speaker 1: going to rule. I think she is, and she's I 116 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 1: think been remarkably patient with the government here, trying to 117 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: give it time to make more UH coherent arguments that 118 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 1: would justify the continuing refusal to provide him counsel. I 119 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 1: think we're going to find an order to provide him 120 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: counsel and then ah habeas petition forthwith. The Supreme Court 121 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: has turned down a chance to decide whether the federal 122 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 1: law protecting workers against discrimination based on sex also protects 123 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 1: workers from discrimination based on sexual orientation. The circuit courts 124 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 1: are divided on the question of whether Title seven covers 125 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 1: gay workers, and so are the E O, C and 126 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: the Justice Department. The Justices did not explain their reasoning 127 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: for turning down the case of a hospital security guard 128 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: in Georgia who said she was discriminated against because she 129 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: was gay. Joining me is Anthony Christ, professor at the 130 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: Chicago Kent College of Law. Anthony the circuits are split. 131 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: The seven Circuit rules sexual orientation discrimination is a form 132 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 1: of gender bias protected by Title seven. The eleven Circuit 133 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 1: ruled it's not, and the second Circuit is considering it now. 134 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 1: Isn't this the type of confusion that the Supreme Court 135 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 1: is supposed to clear up? Yeah? Absolutely. I think that 136 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: the Court and not hearing this case is only delayed 137 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 1: the timing of when they will actually decide a case 138 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: of this sort um. This case wasn't a particularly great 139 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: vehicle to decide this this issue. I mean, it's a 140 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 1: it's a big issue, UM. And so certainly the court 141 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 1: would want a clean case. UM. There are some procedural 142 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:47,199 Speaker 1: problems with the defendants claiming they weren't properly served. UM. 143 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: And in fact, Jimmy Evans has a potential remedy as 144 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:56,119 Speaker 1: a as a traditional gender nonconformity claim that's removed from 145 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 1: her such orientation claim. So I think that there are 146 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 1: a lot of factors here that my have not made 147 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 1: this best case for the court to take up to 148 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: decide this this incredibly important issue. Tell us what the 149 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 1: argument is on both sides. So the argument in favor 150 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:17,479 Speaker 1: of expanding our understanding of what sex discrimination is that effectively, 151 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 1: if if you take into consideration a person sexual orientation, 152 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 1: you're taking into account that person sex and the sex 153 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: of the people that they form intimate relationships with. And 154 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 1: so if you're taking sex into account at all, that's 155 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 1: a plain form of sex discrimination that Title seven UH 156 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:42,719 Speaker 1: was enacted to to to remove from the workplace. UM. 157 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 1: The The counter response is, well, homophobia is a different 158 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 1: and distinct form of bias, that's not UH sexism, and 159 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: so these are distinct things. UM. And that Congress when 160 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,840 Speaker 1: they enacted Title seven's protections in the N four. Um, 161 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 1: we're really thinking about protecting men versus women in the workplace. Um, 162 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,080 Speaker 1: you know, based on biological sex, and they weren't thinking 163 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 1: about sex orientation or LGBT people, and so these things 164 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: are distinct issues. Um. And if the Court or if 165 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: if Congress wants to a me entitle seven to include 166 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,680 Speaker 1: LGBT discrimination claims, and they're free to do so, Anthony, 167 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 1: is it important to gay rights groups to get this 168 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 1: issue before the Court before Justice Anthony Kennedy retires and 169 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 1: that could be this term? Yeah, I think the timing 170 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: here is is incredibly important. Um. I think gay rights 171 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:38,560 Speaker 1: groups certainly would like this, this case, a type of 172 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 1: case like this to come before the Court for Justice 173 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 1: Kennedy retires. If he does, Um, it certainly would be 174 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 1: a lot easier of a road, uh, for for advocates 175 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 1: in that sense. Um, you know, if Justice Kennedy is 176 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 1: on the Court as opposed to someone who President nominate 177 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 1: to replace him in within the next few months. So 178 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 1: how did how does it affect rights in the workplace 179 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: that in the same court case, the Second Circuit case 180 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: in New York which I was talking about before, the 181 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:12,199 Speaker 1: Equal Employment Opportunity Commission was arguing that Title seven protects 182 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:16,319 Speaker 1: against discrimination based on sexual orientation, while the Justice Department 183 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 1: was arguing that it doesn't. Yeah, it's a very unusual 184 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,680 Speaker 1: situation where you have two different entities within the federal 185 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:29,320 Speaker 1: government taking opposite views. UM. The e of C, of 186 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: course the agency that Congress charged with the responsibility of 187 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:38,200 Speaker 1: UM enforcing Title seven, and so they get a considerable 188 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 1: amount of of UM of deference in the sense that 189 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 1: you know that that they're the experts in this field. UM. 190 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 1: But the Department of Justice certainly has you know, they've 191 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: claimed that, as the nation's largest employer of the federal government, 192 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 1: has a has an important interest in Title seven and 193 00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: the administration of Title seven. UM. And you know, it's 194 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 1: it's not surprising that the political appointees that were put 195 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,720 Speaker 1: in place by the Trump administration UM in the Department 196 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 1: of Justice took this position, UM, given you know, Attorney 197 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 1: General Sessions and a number of high profile people in 198 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 1: the Trump administration have generally been uneasy with pro LGBT 199 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 1: policies and and pro or policies that protect LGBT employees 200 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 1: and workers. Anthony. Some states do have laws that protect 201 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 1: against workplace discrimination, so is titled seven less important in 202 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 1: those states. Uh. It depends on a state by state basis. UM. 203 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 1: There are a number of states where uh, you know, 204 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,440 Speaker 1: you certainly have coequal protections, but there are many states, 205 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: many many states in the fact that they do not. UM. 206 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 1: And it's important to have I think it's important to 207 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:50,560 Speaker 1: have access to UM, you know, to to have access 208 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 1: to robust protections and have protections for people UM on 209 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 1: a federal level, because it's important that we have uniform laws. 210 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 1: The patch work laws where LGBT people were protecting certain 211 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 1: situations and not in other states. UM, it's a fundamentally 212 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:09,239 Speaker 1: unworkable UM. And I think we need a national resolution 213 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 1: to this for for every LGBT employee to know that 214 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,840 Speaker 1: they uh, you know, they're free from that, that they're 215 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 1: protected from workplace bias and workplace discrimination no matter what 216 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 1: state they live and work in. Just briefly, might this 217 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 1: second circuit case be the one that the court takes. Yeah, 218 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 1: I think this is an ideal vehicle for it. The 219 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 1: real question at the end of the day, does the 220 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 1: employer want to be the face of defending this at 221 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,840 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court? UM? They may not necessarily appeal, but 222 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 1: that time will tell if that happens. Always a pleasure 223 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 1: to have you on that.
