Question Presented (from Petition)

Should military-specific collateral claims raised by military prisoners still subject to military law be adjudicated in the specialized, experienced Article I military courts, or in the Article III federal courts, which are ill-equipped to determine the impact of their decisions on the military and are less likely to establish uniformity on technical provisions of military law?
