I expect we'll see an appeal.
cuz he tried to blow up a plane with a shoe bomb - if you are making the point that the judiciary is somehow responsible for his being classified/held as enemy combatant (in legal limbo), I think you're off the mark.Originally posted by: Red Dawn

You have the wrong person. That was Richard Reid a UK citizen who got a civillain trial. Padilla was supposedly involved in a dirty bomb plot.
I dont think so, they dont want to lose badlyTextit will probably be on the Supreme Court's desk in record time.
"Even in times of national emergency... it is the obligation of the judicial branch to ensure the preservation of our constitutional values and to prevent the executive branch from running roughshod over the rights of citizens and aliens alike," said the ruling by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
It added it could not accept the position that anyone under the jurisdiction and control of the US could be held without "recourse of any kind to any judicial forum, or even access to counsel, regardless of the length or manner of their confinement".

Good to see there are still some sane people in possition of power that value peoples rights. I've found it quite disturbing how the government has been detaining people indefinitely without trial. Glad to see there's still hope for the justice system.

It's got a long way to go to get back to any sign of saneness.
Don't think it will happen though, we are heading towards Marshall Law.

Great news. There may be hope for our judicial system. Let's charge him, get him a good lawyer. and properly convict him in accordance with our cherished principle of due process and a fair trial. It's time we stopped acting like some Communist police state and started being America again.

As this case shown just how anti-american and anti-constitution Bush is what makes you think he'll comply as the consititutional law calls for? He controls all the enforcement arms of the federal governement.
To me this is just a ruling.
