Good science fiction idea. Removing the Judges and lawyers and makes for good writing material. It goes along with the effort to remove nationalism. A lot of the Lawyers and Judges think it will lead to globalism, but it's more likely to produce loyalty to smaller groups than loyalty to a global system.
I can think of 4 or 5 science fiction series set in the future that use the removal of Judges and lawyers by one method or another as part of the background.
Actually the court making a ruling on this is wrong in at least two counts...
The constitution gives the courts no say in the way the president makes war. Congress controls the purse strings and can stop voting money, but the courts can only act on the laws passed by the other branches of government.
If I remember correctly the Geneva convention was never considered to fully apply to spies or warriors hiding in and behind the civilian population.
Spies dressed as civilians caught in the act could be taken out and shot. Their rights under the Geneva convention are very very limited.
