The justices slapped down Boasberg, noting the high court had already settled issues over the law in 1948 and limited judges' ability to interfere with the president under the law to a habeas petition.

The justices also poignantly slammed the judge and the lawyers in the case for what is called judge shopping, stating the plaintiffs were being held in a Texas detention center and had no right to have their case heard before Boasberg in Washington, D.C.

"The detainees are confined in Texas, so venue is improper in the District of Columbia," the justices declared.
