The Supreme Court’s decisions today are definitely a mixed bag for the administration. The government won 5-4 on Padilla, but lost 8-1 on Hamdi and 6-3 on the Gitmo case (Rasul). Of course, on the merits I am not convinced the government should have won all of these cases — war on terror notwithstanding. More to follow once I’ve read the decisions (all 190 pages of ‘em!).
