Holtzman v. Schlesinger

New York Representative Elizabeth Holtzman and several U.S. Air Force officers filed a 1973 law suit challenging the constitutional basis for U.S. combat in Cambodia, then a neutral country. Appealed to the Supreme Court, Holtzman won a temporary injunction on the bombing. The Supreme Court ultimately ruled that military matters are the constitutional domain of the Executive and Legislature.
