J. Michael Luttig is one of those conservative judges frequently mentioned as a candidate for the Supreme Court. Well, as happens more often than you think, this conservative judge has ruled against the Bush administration's attempt to move the Padilla case from the military to the civilian sphere. He sees it as an attempt to prevent Supreme Court review of the case. Luttig said that the government has left the impression that Padilla has been held for more than three years by mistake.
The charges against Padilla have gone from considering to explode a dirty bomb, to destroy a gas line to public buildings to, in the latest charge, fighting with Al Qaeda in Afghanistan. Witch hunt anyone?
