Closing the MOU Loop: My PENNumbra Response to Andrew Kent on Why <em>Boumediene</em> "Rights" Don't "Expire"
Back in early November, Ben and I blogged about Fordham Professor Andrew Kent's provocative new essay, "Do Boumediene Rights Expire?," which he published in "PENNumbra," the online companion to the University of Pennsylvania Law Review.

Back in early November, Ben and I blogged about Fordham Professor Andrew Kent's provocative new essay, "Do Boumediene Rights Expire?," which he published in "PENNumbra," the online companion to the University of Pennsylvania Law Review. Although I offered some quick reactions to Andrew's essay in my original post, I also noted that I had a longer response underway. That response is now out in PENNumbra, and available here. For those interested in deeper analysis of the legal issues raised by the MOU dispute, I hope both Andrew's essay and my response provide useful fodder.
