Question Presented (from Petition)
1. Whether courts can evade their constitutional and statutory duty to review military decisions under the so-called "Mindes test," or whether claims seeking injunctive relief against the military are reviewable so long as they do not present a nonjusticiable political question or otherwise fall outside the court's subject-matter jurisdiction.
2. Whether a DoD policy that requires all legal permanent resident enlistees—but not their U.S.-citizen counterparts—to suffer unjustified delays before beginning their military careers is judicially reviewable.
