And the ruling upholding habeas for Hamidi as well as his right
to access to the Federal Courts applies as well to Padilla, thus
mooting the substantive issue in Padilla.

Except that Padilla is still incarcerated.

Bynot ruling on the
habeas issue per se in Padilla the USSC simply avoided repeating
itself.

So you are dead wrong.

But Padilla is still incarcerated.



The USSC handed America a great victory that day.


This issue alone is enough to toss Bush and his sorry crew.


The arguement on the part of the Bush administration all along has
essentially been that they are above the law. To say that their
case lacked merit would be an understatement.


So I think we are basically in agreement.

Thanks for your input.
