All praise to JJ -- it's terribly important to America (and to the GOP) that there be conservatives who won't stand for whatever b.s. the Bush White House shovels at us. Decrying the U.S. for imitating the Soviets shouldn't be hard, but it is, apparently.

It seems that at as often as not the white house has tried to avoid just that sort of thing- i.e. letting the SCOTUS rule directly on their actions. You saw that with Padilla when they suddenly transferred him to a civilian court when it looked like the SCOTUS might rule on the case.
