This really bothers me... I'm not even sure if the ruling is following the Bush administration's argument (that the President's declaration is all that's necessary) or if there was a hearing to show cause to hold him, or what.

The issue is *not* Padilla himself. The issue is the next person, about whom the evidence may be sketchier, or the person after that, who has the wrong name and wrong general appearance, etc..

I mean, if the government had to show really strong evidence to be able to lock Padilla up, okay, that's the way life is during a war... but first they have to show that evidence.
