Bushco to Luttig on the Padilla case: Go to your room...!

In the appeals court decision, Judge J. Michael Luttig warned the administration that it was risking its credibility with the courts by changing tactics in what could be interpreted as an effort to avoid judicial scrutiny.

Solicitor General Paul Clement, the administration's Supreme Court lawyer, had told the justices that that the appeals court denial of the transfer was "an unwarranted attack on the exercise of executive discretion."

judge michael luttig is a conservative darling... but never let it be said that bushco honors the work of its friends any more than it does its foes...

The Supreme Court agreed Wednesday to let the military transfer accused "enemy combatant" Jose Padilla to Miami to face criminal charges in at least a temporary victory for the Bush administration.

The justices overruled a lower court, which had attempted to block the transfer as part of a rebuke to the White House.

WE'LL HAVE NO MORE OF THESE UNWARRANTED ATTACKS ON AN EXERCISE OF EXECUTIVE DISCRETION, YOU HEAR ME, BOY...?!?

now, go to your room...
