Some may not agree with his position but I personally respected him for the extent of what he was willing to accept for his convictions. Are these two willing to do that, seems not to me.

I agree 100%. If they objected so strongly to the war in Iraq, you'd think they'd have the fortitude and conviction to stay in the US and be courtmarshalled. In my mind, that would have been the only uncowardly way to object. Running and hiding showed them for what they are.
Glad they aren't spending Canadian tax $$ in the Supreme Court.
