Senator Cornyn (I'd love to see him run for president, btw) mentioned that Justice O'Connor voted one way regarding enemy combatants and Justice Scalia voted another way. Can someone explain to me what that case was all about?

It's the Hamdi case. It's about military v. civilian "detention."

How did SCOTUS ultimately rule?

Never mind; my memory is coming back on that case. The way Cornyn was talking, it sounded like O'Connor was in the majority but I'm remembering she was not.
