It makes me wonder if the Senate deal won't be SCOTUSized, too, just one more thing for these $#!#heels to appeal.
I also wonder what this means for Padilla - a US citizen. what I see in this law is what I would have given to Padilla, he can challenge his status as a combatant, but once its clear that a fair process has made that determination - he belongs to the military after that. However, if they are giving that to non US persons, I imagine Padilla will (sadly) get a biger bite of the apple.
