Instead of dropping the case, the Clinton Justice Department took it all the way to the Supreme Court, where it obtained a favorable ruling written by … Justice Antonin Scalia. … So: [D]on’t assume that a Democratic president will necessarily transform the counterterrorism policies of the current administration.
