Ramifications edit
In effect, this turn of events has created an interesting dichotomy for President George W. Bush, a Republican neoconservative, other neocons, the Republican Party and its voter base in a wider sense: Bush doesn't like Scott because it was material for Wade v. Roe, which was incremental in getting pro-choice legislation passed; while at the same time he needs Scott, as it is a base for prosecuting illegal combatants in military commissions for the purposes of the War on Terror.
