Padilla was moved in January to Miami to face criminal charges, and the government argued that the appeal over his indefinite detention was now pointless.

The administration only finally brought him to justice in order to avoid a ruling on the constitutionality of their actions. What were they afraid of?

>>>The administration only finally brought him to justice in order to avoid a ruling on the constitutionality of their actions. What were they afraid of?

And if found to be not guilty of criminal charges, can the administration then choose to once again detain him indefinitely as an enemy combatant?
