The first thing I thought when I heard about this, given the fact that the next appeal is to the US Supremes, was that if the case comes up after Roberts is (more than likely) put in as head Justice, what is the chance that the case will be reversed? Admittedly I don't have the full background on the case, but I fail to understand how they are getting around habeas corpus...is the problem with bringing a charge against Padilla that afterwards, they will naturally have to actually try him?
edit The second thing I thought was: I don't want to hear the Bush Administration describe itself as "Constructionalist" or "Originalist" or any of that crap any more.
