Which was a case regarding the protections offered by the Speech or Debate Clause of the United States Constitution, Rasul v. Bush or Gravel v. United States?
Rasul v. Bush Rasul v. Bush, 542 U.S. 466 (2004) , was landmark decision of the United States Supreme Court in which the Court held that foreign nationals held in the Guantanamo Bay detention camp could petition federal courts for writs of "habeas corpus" to review the legality of their detention. The Court's 6–3 judgment on June 28, 2004, reversed a D.C. Circuit decision joined by Judge Merrick Garland, which had held that the judiciary has no jurisdiction to hear any petitions from foreign nationals held in Guantanamo Bay.
R v Lucas R v Lucas is the leading Supreme Court of Canada decision on the criminal offence of defamatory libel. The Court held that the "Criminal Code" offence of defamatory libel infringed the constitutional protection of freedom of expression under Section 2(b) of the "Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms", but the offence was a reasonable limit prescribed by law under Section 1 of the "Charter".
