#1 This is one of those nasty issues created when you decide to be a world power and being twisting and turning the Constitution to fit your convoluted legal system.

In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence. 6th Amendment

In older times before the judiciary decided to become America's aristocracy, these matter would have been settled locally, by the ship's captain or ground commander. So instead we 're-interpret' the Constitution. Just another brick in the wall of judicial rewrite of the contract.
