Kuang v. Department of Defense
Petition for certiorari denied on April 26, 2021.
Issue
(1) Whether courts can evade their constitutional and statutory duty to review military decisions under the so-called "Mindes test," from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit's decision in Mindes v. Seamen, 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; and (2) whether a Department of Defense 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.
