Chris Hedges challenged the contitutionality of this law, allowing indefinite detention without charge as it does. The legal process worked its way up to the US Supreme Court, who agreed that lacked until Hedges lacked legal standing to challenge it. i.e. Before it was applied to him personally, he had no right to challenge it - a kind of Catch 22 situation, since if it were applied to him, he could be held incommunicado unable to challenge it.
