US Court Rules that Maher Arar cannot sue the US
Posted by ac on November 7th, 2009
“”Once congress has performed this task, then the courts in a proper case will be able to review the statute and provide judicial oversight,” the ruling said.
But Judge Guido Calabresi, who voted in favour of Arar being able to sue, wrote: “I believe that when the history of this distinguished court is written, today’s majority decision will be viewed with dismay.”
Arar said in a statement that the ruling proves “the court system in the United States has become more or less a tool that the executive branch can easily manipulate through unfounded allegations and fear-mongering.”"
