"Ya gotta wonder if the Feds are daring the appeals court to call their hand on Padilla. I am beginning to suspect that the prosecutors will now say: okay, ya want charges? well, here they are. Yet another December Surprise for our side."

One can only hope!!!!!.........till it happens, one way or another.

i don't think that's so much a surprise as exactly what the court wants -- its not saying the guy should be let go. its saying the guy should be let go or charged.
