Now the 2nd Circuit has held that Padilla must be released from military custody, saying that a US citizen may not be siezed on US soil as an enemy combatant. He must be transferred to civilian custody and may be held as a material witness as a grand jury considers charges.

This is good. I don't trust our government when it takes citizen and holds them indefinately without access to lawyers. It shocks the conscience, actually. It's something Saddam would have done and I'm sure did do.

If ever there was a need for RECESS APPOINTMENTS....the time is now.

As part of the War on Terror and in order to save our Republic we need to impeach and remove judges.

[Republican Wildcat]

Aside from the merits of this ruling...this same matter is already being reviewed by the Supreme Court. It is ridiculous that the 9th Circuit would issue a ruling. These people not only issue embarrassing rulings, but they also act unprofessionally.

Tammy Bruce was on Larry Elder today talking about this. She says the Judge who wrote this ruling (Reinhart?) is married to the President of the Los Angeles Chapter of the ACLU.

Isn't that sweet?

Where does the 9th Circuit get its authority to rule on the status of prisoners that are in Cuba? These are not residents of any of the states within the 9th Circuit and they are not being detained within the 9th circuit.

Because they are outside of the united states, only the Supreme Court would have jurisdiction to hear arguments in this case or to accept a writ.

the 9th is out of control. We need to get congress to impeach every one of them.

The morons from California have spoken. IMO, the sooner they die of horrible diseases the better for the country.

Anyway we can send these judges to Gitmo instead?

[k2blader]

Hoping to hear this being appealed in the near future.

The Ninth Circus does it again. Can you imagine the impact of this ruling during World War II? We would have needed a draft just to get enough lawyers to tell the POWs, "You have the right to remain silent."

[FlatLandBeer]

9th Circuit the Left wing court. Here is an idea..if this stands..I say release these guys march them out the gate at GITMO and let Castro deal with them. I rather let them go than have their left wing lawyer use their trials as a soap box to run down the US

[Dan from Michigan]

Time for Bush to imitate Lincoln.....

[GigaDittos]

Isn't this the same 9th Circus Court that makes all the other nutty decisions we've heard lately. Like the Texas sodomy case.

[ChicagoHebrew]

I'm ok with this, just as long as they all get this guy:
