Padilla, as an American citizen arrested in America should have been promptly provided an attorney or granted access to the attorney of his hiring and immediately charged with a crime or set free. Period. End of story.

Which President said, when informed of a Supreme Court decision he disagreed with "lets see them enforce it". What are they going to do, send Public Defenders to Guantanamo Bay en masse?

I'm willing to see the government hold a citizen like Padilla without trial if it can satisfy a court that it has reasonably classified him as an enemy combatant. What has really troubled me about the government's position is that it has claimed it shouldn't have to make such a showing to a court.
