1. The obvious Q&A

Does the constitution apply?

Well Is person X(Jose Padilla) a US citizen?

Yes?

Then yes, he is protected by our constitution. No exceptions. Anything else leads to tyranny.

2. In order to be a "combatant" don't you have to be engagaed in combat?

Sorry, doesn't fit the case at hand.

He is a citizen and is entitled to ALL protections under Constitution. Do state otherwise is to spit on the foundations on which this country is built.
