It was constitutional the week before that ruling. In a few weeks, assuming it hasn't happened already, some other judge will pull a completely arbitrary opinion out of his ass and it will be constitutional again.
The whole point of this thread is that what is "constitutional" or not has long ago ceased to be an objective matter related to what the Constitution actually says, and has become an arbitrary concept related more to politics than anything else.
If non-citizen prisoners of war are suddenly entitled to U.S. civilian court procedures, then every prisoner of war held for the past 200 years has been in violation of this.
Prisoners of war, "detainees" or otherwise, are not sentenced to specific terms, but are held until the war is over.
Noticed how you dodged the "U.S. citizen" classification.
