Fruit of a poison tree

Josh Marshall sums it up pretty well:

It now seems clear to just about everyone that the other shoe has now dropped. We know the president's final strategy to keep the subpoenas at bay in 2007 and 2008. Put the worst al Qaida bad guys at Gitmo and force a rushed debate over legislation over how they will be tried. An up or down vote, either the president's kangaroo courts or nothing.

Dare Democrats to vote for nothing. If they do, mutilate them with 30 seconds. If they don't, sow dissension among the opposition.

It's hardly a surprise. This whole White House is the fruit of the poison tree. Their national security policy has always been essentially political. Nothing has changed. It's what all of us have always predicted.

Josh seems to think there's a chance the Democrats can stand up to this. I hope he's right, but I'm not counting any chickens. They've turned tail and run too many times before.
