Question Presented (from Petition)

1. Whether, as the D.C. Circuit held, the SCRA stripped the courts of jurisdiction over constitutional challenges to the rest of the settlement or the settlement as a whole, and if so, whether the denial of any judicial forum for these constitutional claims is, itself, unconstitutional.

2. Whether the D.C. Circuit improperly reviewed the constitutionality of the SCRA in isolation, ignoring its interdependence with the rest of the settlement.

Question Presented (AI Summary)
