Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Infiltration by conversion

AP via Washington Times:

A suspected plot targeting military facilities, synagogues and other Los Angeles-area sites has highlighted what analysts say is a growing terrorist threat: homegrown American militants operating with little or no help from Islamic extremists abroad.
Four suspects were charged Wednesday with conspiring to wage war against the U.S. government through terrorism. Named in the federal indictment were Levar Haley Washington, 25; Gregory Vernon Patterson, 21; Hammad Riaz Samana, 21; and Kevin James, 29.
All but Mr. Samana, a Pakistani national, are American-born Muslim converts. Counterterrorism officials have found no evidence directly connecting the group -- described as the cell of a California prison gang of radical Muslims -- to al Qaeda or other foreign terror networks.
Law-enforcement officials and terrorism analysts said the case could represent one of the first Islamic terrorism probes involving U.S. natives without those connections.
The plot's suspected mastermind is James, a California State Prison, Sacramento, inmate who founded the radical group Jamiyyat Ul-Islam Is-Saheeh, authorities said. Washington converted to Islam while imprisoned there for a previous robbery conviction.
