Fourth Circuit -- Mahmoud Hegab v. Letitia Long

Court: Denial of security clearance does not state a colorable constitutional claim, as it is simply a recharacterization of a factual determination.

Concurrence 1: Challenge to policies states a constitutional claim, but this is a factual challenge.

Concurrence 2: Colorable constitutional claim, but nonjusticiable, since it's a political question.
