In that decision, the Justices upheld the detention, without charges, of U.S. citizen Yaser Esam Hamdi, whose designation as an enemy combatant was challenged by his lawyers. The court ruled that his detention was lawful because the "necessary force" provisions of the Sept. 14 resolution gave the President the power to engage in all "fundamental incidents" of war.
