Coragrygh:
The amendment mentioned here?
http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2005/12/20051230-8.html

Does it apply to US citizens?
Under what circumstances?

Answer 1

December 2005. The bill was already signed into law.

Detainee Treatment Act of 2005 (DTA) §1005...

The Supreme Court rejected the denial of Habeas Corpus for petitions already filed prior to that date, but has not addressed later petitions. Hamdan v. Rumsfeld (2006)

{EDIT} Read the end of third to last paragraph, talking about §1005

Basically, the executive reserves the right to deny subject matter jurisdiction to the federal courts to interpret the law, and shall ignore any court decisions that contradicts his interpretation. He's claiming the courts have no authority to say the law is unconstitutional.

And yes, at least 3 US citizens so far, captured on US soil, have been stripped of all legal rights by his declaration that they were enemy combatants. The Supreme Court said "you can't do that". Bush said "I don't care. I'm doing it anyway". Read the cases.

Answer 2
