A judge who is also an Air Force colonel has sentenced a lawyer who is also a Marines brigadier general to confinement in quarters at GITMO

For contempt, because they disagree on who is allowed to let defense lawyers quit. And it's not clear who is, because GITMO is a fake court.

And uh. It's not clear he can even hold the general in contempt because..... GITMO doesn't have jurisdiction over American citizens.

But it gets worse. Why did the defense lawyers want to quit?

They don't have "confidence" in the confidentiality of their communications with their client. ????!?!?! (Further explanation is classified)

Also, it's a capital case and they need at least one defense lawyer who has capital experience. All of the ones with have quit

According to Maddow there are going to be US Marshals dispatched to basically detain the defense attorneys and force them to stay on

Question: Can they do that? Answer: ?!#?!?#! I DON'T KNOW

Anyways. Take a moment to read / watch / listen to that story! I've been chewing on that one ever since I heard about it.
