The U.S. Supreme Court would have the authority to review court-martial appeals cases that are not selected for review by the military’s highest civilian appeals court, under a measure now pending before the House. Under provisions of the Equal Justice for Our Military Act of 2010 (H.R. 569), the high court could accept and rule on such cases, even if the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces (CAAF) decides not to. Presently, CAAF functions in a manner comparable to federal U.S. courts of appeals, as the last avenue for judicial review before cases can be taken to the Supreme Court. The Senate is considering a similar measure, S. 357.
