From Fox News:
Jose Padilla was moved in January to Miami to face criminal charges, and the government argued that the appeal over his indefinite detention was now pointless.The decision not to hear the case puts aside, for now, legal fights over the extent of the President's wartime powers.Six justices agreed not to hear the appeal from Padilla. Three justices said the court should have taken up the case: Justices David H. Souter, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer.
