I had thought O'Connor felt enemy combatants should get a hearing before a military tribunal and was in the minority on that. None of the Justices ruled that way so I don't know which case I'm thinking about.

I don't know either. But your first question asked about the enemy combatant case that Cornyn mentioned, where Scalia went one way and Scalia went another (BTW, Thomas went a third way - radically different from Scalia). That case is Hamdi.
